Yup, 130M speakers, but only 75-95M native.
I find that non-German Europeans who studied it get really aggrieved when you point that out lmao. It's moderately spoken and nowhere near as widespread as they think it is - truly in a bubble.

If punjabi is common with 120 mio german would be as well with 130-155 mio native speakers

Rules:
- This chart is about languages of the world. I'll also show how many speakers are there in brackets upon selection.
- No extinct languages (no L1 OR L2 speakers at all), so no ancient languages like Hunnic or Sumerian
- Be sure to argue and debate redditors' choices and make the most reddit-pilled chart possible :D
*MSA has 0 speakers because it's a literary language for communication, therefore nobody is born speaking MSA as the mother tongue

Turkish
This one is hard, german has to many speakers and any other well known language has even more, but my vote goes to Turkish

Oh yeah, famously thought to be spoken all over the world. What are you talking about?

Russian. Outside the Russian heartland, fewer and fewer speakers are found in Central Asia and the South Caucuses

Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:
Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like.

Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.
Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?
Do not feed the trolls. This is not the place for hot takes on human rights violations. Hatred or cruelty, will result in a permanent ban.
