3.印度斯坦語

Number of speakers: 497 million

使用人數：4.97億

Hindustani is the primary language of India's crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you're interested in learning a little Hindi, there's a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/musicals every year.

印度斯坦語是印度大部分人口的主要語言，它包含了大量的方言（其中最常用的語言爲印地語）。雖然許多人預測，印度的人口將超過中國，英語在印度的突出阻礙了印度斯坦語成爲世界最爲流行的語言。如果你對學習一點印度語感興趣，有一個很簡單的方法：租一個印度電影。印度的電影產業在世界上是最豐富的，每年制定行動/浪漫/音樂劇數以千計。

To say "hello" in Hindustani, say "Namaste"

印度斯坦語說"你好"，即"Namaste"

1.普通話

Number of speakers: 1 billion+

使用人數：十億以上

Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet. Beating second-place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don't let that lull you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways (or "tones"), and a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello!

驚喜，驚喜，這個星球上最廣泛的語言是基於地球上人口最多的國家。以2比1擊敗排名第二的英國，但不要讓它誘導你認爲普通話很容易學。講普通話將會是很困難的，因爲每個單詞可以有四種發音，一個初學者總是對區別一個音和另一個感到困難。但如果十億人都能做到，那麼你也可以。試着說你好！

To say "hello" in Mandarin, say "Ni hao" ("Hao" is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end.)

普通話說"你好"，即"你好"（"好"的讀音就是一個音節，但語氣要求你讓你的聲音中途下跌，然後再提高到盡頭。）
