I took into account economy, population, population of L2 learners, academic influence etc. of the countries and places in which the languages are spoken. This is from a global perspective i.e. they can be sorted out differently if it were from a perspective of a certain group of people. Even in the same tier, the languages on the left are deemed more important than the languages on the right.
1st tier: English
2nd tier: French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese
3rd tier: Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Hindi (Urdu), Portuguese
4th tier: Indonesian (Malay), Korean, Turkish, Persian (Dari, Tajik), Polish, Dutch, Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian), Thai
How would you rank languages?
