There are over 7,000 languages in use across the globe, but for various reasons (like, for example, colonialism), some are spoken a lot more around the world than others.
Using data from Berlitz, this data visualization by the Genuine Impact team shows which languages are most-spoken worldwide, by native and non-native speakers.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, English is the most-spoken language in the world, with nearly 3.73 million native speakers and more than 1,079 million non-native speakers.
In second is Mandarin. Of the world's 1,118 million Mandarin speakers, 929 million are native and 189 are non-native.
As many as 120.7 million people speak Nigerian Pidgin, an English-based creole language, but only 4.7 million of them are native speakers.
