    I was surprised that it was in the top ten. It's spoken in France, part of a few smaller European countries, one province of Canada, some small island nations, and some former colonies in Africa. The sun doesn't set on the French language but there are few big population outside of France that speak it, oui? The French should have beaten the Portuguese to colonize Brazil. :D

    Many people in the East part of India also speak Bengali. For example, West Bengal, Bihar, etc.

    Hindustani is composed of all the dialects spoken in India as well, including Bhojpuri, Brijbhasha, Hariyanawi etc. which can not be constituted into Hindi.

    Oh and qwestcommunications, you made me rofl dude, Nobody speaks Bengali in Bihar lol, of course there is a little percent of people who know Bengali, but of course nobody SPEAKS that language in public.

    Btw, Blogmaster, those languages are really taking over the internet as well, top 10 most browsed websites list of the world includes like 3 Chinese sites actually.

    LOL... Who the hell wrote this? Bonanza, tornado and patio are English words taken from Spanish, yes, but obviously quesadilla, enchilada, taco are Spanish words ONLY. Sure they're part of American society because they're popular food items, but that's about it. It's not English.

    And taco grande supreme? The author of that must have been just reading from a Taco Bell menu!

    in bihar no one speaks bengali! well a few dose:rolleyes: anyways, but then in jharkhand bengali is the second language, after hindi ofcourse!:)

    but then form there on, west bangal, assam and all other east states speaks a bit of bengali, apart from there own language!

    i really doubt the hindustani language! and doubt what op has posted! can anyone search the wikipedia or some other trusted source to conferm what OP has posted:)
