Interesting. IMHO, English is dominant even today, not so much by the number of 'native' speakers, but more so by the number of people(whose mother tongue in not English) speaking it.
Somehow, English is more embracing. The language seems to also has the infinite capacity to grow, and evolve and adjust to the times as opposed to any other language on earth. I feel English is going to be the leading language for the long haul. --Ram On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 9:38 AM, Pradip Kumar Datta <[email protected]>wrote: > Top Most Spoken Languages In The World > India's Hindustani and Bengali are in Top 10. > > 10.
