You needn't go any farther than simply watch a world cup. The announcements are always done in order of "host country language", "descending # of speakers". Your list is only the population of countries who speak that language as their first language. For example, most arabic countries are French as their second language with a very high bilingual rate. The entire population of countries like morocco speak french. |
There are parts of Morocco where Spanish is the mostly used language (the old Spanish protectorate, at the north) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Protectorate_of_Morocco
