Yeah but which one is most useful?
>>140334118
>most useful
>>140334433
Did you consider that due to the information density of English, it's not a coincidence?
>>140334544
As you can see, there is not even a correlation between information rate and the proportion of Europeans speaking or thinking that those languages are useful, at least between English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese
>>140334118
Maybe another way to see which one is most useful would be to look which ones are teach in school

>when the most commonly spoken language in the EU is English and then you vote leave
>even when you're out of the EU, English is the lingua """franca""" between the Dutch and the Poles, the Swedes and the Italians, the Romanians and the Spanish - literally two romance populations whose most prevalent common tongue is English.
>the French have to put up with this shit despite it pissing them off to hell and back

>>140334118
were you trying to argue that because Vietnamese is more information dense, it'd be a more useful lingua franca in Europe?
funny logic.
>>140336885
It will be Russian soon enough
>>140337045
for russian to become the lingua franca of all of europe, it will first have to replace polish, and i take great comfort in knowing how much that would piss off the polaks.

English is by far the most spoken language of the European Union, 13% speak it as a mother tongue + 38% as a foreign language, way more than German (16%+11%), French (12%+12%), Italian (13%+3%), Spanish (8%+7%), Polish (8%+1%) and Russian (1%+5%)
>>140337426
yea
English speakers in Spain 22%, had little trouble talking to people and asking directions. Italy 34% no trouble whatsoever being understood. France 39% and every one of the lying fuckers pretended they couldn't understand a word of English.

the french are top cunts, haven't met a single euro who liked them. Then again, different europeans tend to hate each other, hence the memes about how bad anglos and germans are as well.
