Great comment! I’m curious, why did you choose Arabic, Mandarin, and Spanish?

English comes after Mandarin and Spanish according to most sources, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of...

Edit: ugh sorry, I realize you wrote spoken languages (which English would be in the top at, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num...), not native/first language/by population. Ignore me!
