    I’m assuming the third language is French? And I mean really how gives a fuck about Quebec. They just push the language to be assholes.

    So really there are two…

      Portuguese, there’s a few hundred million speakers of Portuguese in South America.

      I suppose I should have included French and made it four … there’s Quebec, but also Martinique, French Guiana, and so on. Maybe 10-15 million all in all?

      Vs. ~450m for Spanish, ~400m for English and ~300m for Portuguese.

        What about all the African countries south of the equator? Afrikaans is the obvious one, but there must be hundreds of tribal languages. Also don’t forget Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The Amazon surely has tribal languages too.
