The concept world language or global language is used to define a language spoken internationally and which is also learned by many people as a second language. A world language is not characterized only by the number of speakers (native or secondary), but also by its geographical distribution, its use in international organizations or its use in diplomatic relations.12 In this sense, most languages The world's languages are dominated by languages of European national origin. The historical reason for this phenomenon is determined by the period of European expansionism: imperialism and colonialism.

Standard Chinese (Mandarin) is the direct replacement for Classical Chinese, which was a historical lingua franca of the Far East until the 20th century, and today serves the function of providing a common language spoken between speakers of different and mutually unintelligible Chinese languages. , not only within China itself (among Han Chinese and other unrelated ethnic groups), but also among citizens living in Chinese diaspora communities around the world, as well as being taught as a second international language. Russian was used in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, and is currently used and widely recognized in areas of central and eastern Europe and in northern and central Asia, which were previously part of the Soviet Union or the former Soviet bloc, and remains the lingua franca in the Commonwealth of Independent States. German has served as a lingua franca in much of Europe for centuries, most notably in the Holy Roman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It remains an important second language in much of central and eastern Europe, and in the international scientific community.

For example, the native Bengali-speaking po[CENSORED]tion is much larger than those who speak French as their first language, and it is one of the most spoken languages (fifth5 or sixth6) in the world, with almost 230 million speakers. , and is known for its great literary wealth. However, although French is spoken intercontinentally, it is recognized that it has greater linguistic prestige at the international level and is used in diplomacy and international trade, in addition to having a significant portion of speakers as a second language throughout the world, the great Most Bengali speakers are native speakers, with little or no influence outside their linguistic region.
