I've always thought that the world's common language is English and that's probably true. Watching Trapped on TV the other night, English was the language used in a conversation between a Dane and someone from Iceland, and many Asian countries use English as the preferred language in schools.
But, looking at a country's second language, gives a different story. As expected, the second language of the USA is Spanish, of Canada, it's French, but in England it's Polish! Australia's second language is Mandarin and Saudi Arabia's is Tagalog, a reflection of the large number of guest workers in that country from the Philippines.
