Although, if we're realistically considering the present situation, the number of people who already speak English as either a native or non-native language are roughly even with the number that speak Mandarin, and far exceed that number for Spanish-speakers. Only looking at Europe, this still holds. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num...
Great! I propose Spanish, being the second most spoken language by number of native speakers (behind Chinese), and given the relevance of Spain through history in Europe.
(this comment was only half joking. It's easy to impose a global language when it's yours, but you see, it's a different story when you need to learn a different one).
