Wikipedia me donne un chiffre différent:
"In 1999 French was the 11th most spoken language in the world, being spoken by about 77 million people (called francophones) as a mother tongue, and by 128 million total including second language speakers."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language(...) )
d'un autre côté, sur l'allemand, il est dit:
"With more than 120 million people speaking German in 38 countries of the world, it is hardly surprising that the actual usage of German language varies."
et
"German is the main language of about 100 million people in Europe (as of 2004), or 13.3% of all Europeans, being the most spoken language in Europe excluding Russia, above French (66.5 million speakers in Europe in 2004) and English (64.2 million speakers in Europe in 2004)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language(...)
Comme quoi, une recheche de 30 secondes, c'est bien, mais une recherche de 5 minutes avec des sources plus neutres, c'est mieux. En tant que première langue, l'allemand en Europe seule est plus parlé que le français dans le monde.
