Public Research: Mothertongue (Part 4 - Europe)
Part of Public Research Project
This is yet another angle of approach to mothertongue question (or, precisely, narrowing it down) The poll enlists most numerous languages of Europe. This is a list of top 10 most spoken languages in Europe. Russian over 100 000 000 (mainly in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) German 98 000 000 (mainly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland) French 66 000 000 (mainly in France, Belgium and Switzerland) English 65 000 000 (mainly in the UK and Ireland) Italian 58 000 000 (mainly in Italy) Spanish 44 000 000 (mainly in Spain) Polish 39 000 000 (mainly in Poland) Ukrainian 39 000 000 (mainly in Ukraine) Romanian 24 000 000 (mainly in Romania and Moldova) Dutch 22 000 000 (mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium) I count that the rest of the world has different numbers of distribution, but, seing as Civilizations poll has shown that majority of our members view themselves as belonging to Western Civilization, that the list pretty well covers that majority.

I have two mother tongues as well. Russian and Ukrainian. But I picked Russian because it was spoken more often in my house. Nowadays I think the pendulum is beginning to sway toward Ukrainian (thank you, Orange Revolution).

Just English, one language-how boring
 Did do the required 2 year study of Spanish in high school. Hola! Me llamo es Holby, e tu? Como estas? Muy bein! (My apologies to Spanish speaking people, I probably butchered that)
