A world language is a language spoken internationally,which is learned by many people as a second language.A world language is not only characterized by the number of its speakers (native or second language speakers),but also by its geographical distribution,and its use in international organizations and in diplomatic relations.In this respect,major world languages are dominated by languages of European origin.The historical reason for this is the period of European colonialism.World languages originating with historical colonial empires include English,Spanish,Portuguese and French.The international prominence of Arabic has its historical reason in the medieval Islamic conquests.
Other major languages are not widely used across several continents,but have an international significance as the lingua franca of a historical empire.These include Greek in the Hellenistic world after the conquests of Alexander the Great,Latin in the Roman Empire,Russian in the Russian empire and later the Soviet Union,Mandarin Chinese in the Chinese empire,German in the Holy Roman Empire,Tamil in India,Sri Lanka,Malaysia,Singapore and Hindi following the British Raj which united India.
The major languages of the Indian subcontinent,Hindustani (including all Hindi dialects and Urdu) and Bengali,have numbers of speakers comparable to those of major world languages primarily due to the extreme population growth in the region in recent decades rather than a super-regional use of these languages.Similarly,Japanese has more native speakers than French,but while French is spoken intercontinentally and has a significant portion of second language speakers,the vast majority of Japanese speakers are native Japanese.
The Romance languages bear testimony to the role of Latin as the lingua franca of the Roman Empire.Koine Greek was the "world language" of the Hellenistic period,but its distribution is not reflected in the distribution of Modern Greek due to the linguistic impact of the Slavic,Arabic and Turkic expansions.The distribution of the Turkic languages,in turn,are a legacy of the Turkic Khaganate.
Just as all the living world languages owe their status to historical imperialism,the suggestion of a given language as a world language or "universal language" has strong political implications.Thus,Russian was declared the "world language of internationalism" in Soviet literature,which at the same time denounced French as the "language of fancy courtiers" and English as the "jargon of traders".[1] A number of international auxiliary languages have been introduced as prospective world languages,the most successful of them being Esperanto,but none of them can claim the status of a living world language.Many natural languages have been proffered as candidates for a global lingua franca,including Italian,Dutch,Hungarian,German and Malay
