It's important to note that "most spoken" can be interpreted in different ways:
* Native speakers: Mandarin Chinese has the most native speakers, with over 900 million people worldwide.
* Total speakers: Mandarin Chinese also has a significant number of second language speakers, bringing the total number of speakers to over 1 billion.
While English is widely spoken as a second language globally, Mandarin Chinese is spoken by a significantly larger number of people as their primary language.
