I found this on the CIA's world fact book:\n\n"English enjoys associate status but is the most important language for national, political, and commercial communication; Hindi is the national language and primary tongue of 30% of the people; there are 14 other official languages: Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kannada, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Kashmiri, Sindhi, and Sanskrit; Hindustani is a popular variant of Hindi/Urdu spoken widely throughout northern India but is not an official language"

Mandarin and English . approximately 16% of the world population.

Spanish.\n\nRecent census data shows that 26% of Californians speak Spanish in the home, and this figure is only likely to grow in future years. \n\nHaving a good working ability in Spanish will not only help you to communicate in your own state, but will also help you if you travel to Spain and many countries in Central and South America.

Spanish for work in the US\n\nJapanese for international work (this is the best language for business communication)\n\nSign Language if you want to be a rare asset in the workforce... interpreters and hearing signers are very highly paid and appreciated!

Sorry, guys.  English is NOT the official language of the United States as a country.  The US does not HAVE an official language.  Of the 50 states, only 28 have declared English as an official language.  Of those 28, Louisiana and Hawaii have declared other languages, French and Hawaiian respectively, as co-official languages along with English.  Furthermore, on many Native American reservations, the various tribal languages are either official or co-official with English.\n\nEDIT: My own state, Utah, declared English the official state language, after a state-wide vote, in 2000. \nAlso: Currently, the United States federal government specifies no official language, but there are official languages in these states:\n\nEnglish alone: \nAlabama (1990) \nArkansas (1987) \nCalifornia (1986) \nColorado (1988) \nFlorida (1988) \nGeorgia (1996) \nIllinois (1969) \nIndiana (1984) \nIowa (2002) \nKentucky (1984) \nMassachusetts (1975) \nMississippi (1987) \nMissouri (1998) \nMontana (1995) \nNebraska (1920) \nNew Hampshire (1995) \nNorth Carolina (1987) \nNorth Dakota (1987) \nSouth Carolina (1987) \nSouth Dakota (1995) \nTennessee (1984) \nUtah (2000) \nVirginia (1996) \nWest Virginia (2005) \nWyoming (1996) \nEnglish and Hawaiian: \nHawaii (1978) \nEnglish and French: \nLouisiana \nEnglish and Spanish: \nNew Mexico \n"English Plus" resolutions: \nNew Mexico (1989) \nOregon (1989) \nRhode Island (1992) \nWashington (1989) \nNone: \nIn addition to the states not otherwise mentioned: \nAlaska's 1998 Official English amendment was overturned by the Alaska State Supreme Court in 2002. \nArizona's 1988 Official English amendment was overturned by the Arizona State Supreme Court in April, 1998. \nAlso, English and Spanish are official in Puerto Rico. English and Chamorro are the official languages of Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands

Yeah, I don't get it.  From the start America had many languages.  Some towns spoke solely french, and some German.  Now alot of places solely speak Spanish.  Bout time we started recognizing that.

About a quarter of Californians speak mainly Spanish at home.\n\nFrom Wikipedia:\n"As of 2000, 60.5% of California residents age 5 and older speak English at home and 25.8% speak Spanish. Chinese is the third most spoken language at 2.6%, followed by Tagalog at 2.0% and Vietnamese at 1.3%."\n\nThis should give you an idea of how many Californians are at least inclined to speak Spanish when given the option.

Chinese. China is the most populated country in the world and will continue to grow exponentially. If you have any interest in the business world, knowing Chinese will be an amazing asset.\n\nIt is THE one language to learn - don't bother with issues like ease or how cool Japanese aname is. They're not relevant to the question.

The only languages offered there are French, German, Italian, and Spanish.  Good luck finding that language in a school -- only the biggest universities have a wide enough selection to offer it.  I know that University of Alabama offers it, but it is one of over 60 languages offered there.  Unfortunately, it's not a common language in American schools.

If you plan on coming to the U.S.Spanish is your best bet. There are a lot more Spanish speakers in the U.S.than French speakers. Spanish is used more for everyday speaking in certain parts of the country,like the Southwest U.S. French is used more for leisure,like for people traveling to Canada or to France. Spanish is also a lot easier to spell. You pronounce every letter that is spoken in Spanish  but in French you only speak about half of the letters as they mix together.

'cause you think so, that English is the first popular language.\n\nIt's matter of the sharing, in this mean, most popular one would be Chinese, spoken by 17% peoples of the  population in this world. English share is 9%. And 8% of the spoken majority mainly in India, means Hindi and Urdu... Spanish is 6%.

I like to tell people that because I know Spanish as well as English, my world is twice as big. That means I can talk to almost anyone I meet in the Southwest United States, where so many speak both Spanish and English, instead of being limited to just English. Now if only I knew French, I could go to Canada and expand my world by another big percentage. Same with Russian or German or Portuguese or Chinese.
