English is the world's most widely spoken language but is unusual in the fact that the vast majority of speakers are not 'native'. Of the approximately 1.5 billion people who speak English, less than 400 million use it as a first language. (From go0gl3)

Answer:

1,132 million

Step-by-step explanation:

With over 1,130 million native speakers, English is the most spoken language in the world.

English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, originally spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England.

And a fun fact, “I am” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

I hope this helped! If you dont understand something or would like more of an explanation, feel free to contact me! :D
