Well on that basis you lot should change your official language to Chinese, because there are 5x as many of them as you and you buy all your crap from there.
Obviously it’s easy to assume that because China has the most people, Chinese must be the most common language. But when you look at total people who know a language (as first, second, etc.) the most spoken language in the world is…English, with about 400 million more speakers than Chinese.
