@HeadphonesDude: probably Mandarin cause Cantonese is a dialect with 60 million speakers in the world. but it does share the same writing system as Traditional Chinese.

@AcidBurn: I'm not sure either anymore. I saw it in a lot of youtube videos saying that it's 25%.

@Iamnolongerhere: same. I heard it on a youtube video that it's 25%. IKD if it really is.
but it's not that surprising if you think about it. Mandarin is a must take language in many countries (like Singapore and Malaysia). and Kanji, Taiwanese is all the same with Chinese... and the number of people who escaped or decided to live in China during WWII and considering all the Chinese immigrants around the world.

Nope, it doesn't matter to me since English is still widely used as of now anyway.

@beepbopbeep: yes. 400 million English speakers in the world.
but don't you at least need a second language to get into university? at least that's what i was told.
