English because it's used the most wordwide.

WRONG!!! Mandarin is.

Half wrong, half right.  It would most likely still be considered most "used" worldwide.  Just not "spoken."

Numbers are numbers man. Although english is the international language.

Well considering that a lot of people in China also "use" English (as well as many of the other heavily populated countries), the numbers really would be in favor of English.  No way to actually be able to count it, practically.  English is the official language of the most countries, though.  When you think about the top 10 most spoken languages, though, you start to realize how much fewer languages there are now than before.  Some languages are just dying off.  Russian and Japanese, I believe, make it to top 10.

I'm too lazy to dig up hard numbers, but I think I remember english is the language most people speak at least as a second language. As native language Mandarin and English should be more or less on equal levels. And I don't think so many countries use english as official language, most countries probably have spanish or portugese as official language. I'm not sure Russian and Japanese make it to the top 10 (most spoken in the world), but english, mandarin, spanish, portugese and french should be there for sure.
