Catalan: 6.5 million people as first and second language, modern Greek: 12 million, Swedish: around 9 million native speakers, Portuguese: around 10 million in Europe.
And therefore there are of course more than six languages ranked higher, amongst them also: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Polish.
Not that anyone cares anyway, but since someone started the topic…

No, Hank. It's very interesting. I never know these things.
Since you seem to be astonished that Josuè is bilingual, let me stress that the largest part of the world's population has two or more mother languages. The western industrial countries are an exception. But then again, Catalans (amongst some other peoples) are an exception of the exception.
Of course the dominant countries have huge influence on the rest of the world and so the situation (sadly) changes pretty fast, small peoples are forced to abandon their original languages so they die out all the time.

You're right Hank, it doesn't rank 7th any more, but there are still far more speakers than 6,5 million. It's nearing 11 million, as far as I'm informed it's ahead of both Portuguese and Greek (those 12 million speakers aren't all part of the EU).

Yup i agree 100%. English kids at school have a problem when it come to learning a European language -they can't see beyond the windows in their homes - into the real outside world.
"Why do i have to learn poxy Spanish when i'm never gonna go there" is a typical English kids comment.
