| Each year fewer people speak English as their mother tongue — but more people speak it as a second or foreign language. In 1950 nearly 9% of the world's population spoke English as their first language. By 2050 the proportion will have dropped to just over 5%. Chinese is spoken by more speakers than any other language and the numbers of speakers of Spanish, Hindi, Urdu and Arabic are increasing rapidly. During the next few years. It is estimated that 75% of the world's mail is in English and 60% of the world's telephone calls. |
