In the 19th century, French was the first language in the West. Since then, it has continued to descend. now the ranking is: 1 - chinese 2 - Spanish 3 - English 4 - Arabic 5 - French

I think French's dropped down to fourth place, and they are right there cause their culture is still resembling its great days with less power of course, and that influence French language popularity. I think Spanish is second and then Chinese.
