This fascinating map highlights the second most commonly spoken primary language in almost nearly every country.
The answer reveals a lot about history and location. Whether through immigration, colonization, or local culture, a primary language can either spread around the world or remain rooted in place.
This map from MoveHub shows the second most commonly spoken primary language in most countries, using data from the CIA World Factbook and Wikipedia as of February A primary language—also known as a first or native language—is the language we use most frequently to communicate.
These are languages we are usually born with, have a lot of exposure to, and use at home. On the other hand, a secondary language is one we learn or pick up after our primary language. In many countries, English is the most commonly learned, with close to 1 billion speakers. But a map of common second languages can simply show just how many countries prioritize learning English , the de-facto international language in many organizations.
Instead, this map highlights the movement of people by showing the second-most common primary language. Even when filtering by primary language use, however, English and other Indo-European languages dominate the world. With 55 countries speaking it as the second-most common primary language, English came out on top. Similarly to second-place French with 14 countries and third-place Russian with 13 countries , English was most common in proximity to English-speaking countries or where there was a history of immigration.
Alternatively, they showed the primary indigenous language before colonization, such as the Quechua languages in South America. Languages provide a window into culture and history. Only 23 languages are spoken by at least 50 million native speakers. This feature is limited to our corporate solutions.

This ethnicity group contributes to the highest share of the population in every region, but is especially noticeable in the Midwestern region.
The Black or African American resident population totaled The overall population in the United States is expected to increase annually into , from Thus, population densities have also increased, totaling Despite being one of the most populous countries in the world, following China and India, the United States is not even among the top most densely populated countries due to its large land mass.
Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world and has a population density of 26, As population numbers in the U. This growing population group is a significant source of population growth in the country due to both high immigration and birth rates. The United States is one of the most racially diverse countries in the world. But a white population loss between and would be unprecedented. Second, the Census Bureau was not projecting white population losses to occur until after This makes any national population growth even more reliant on other race and ethnic groups.
The white demographic decline is largely attributable to its older age structure when compared to other race and ethnic groups. This leads to fewer births and more deaths relative to its population size. In , the white median age was The new census estimates show that, in contrast to other groups, white Americans sustained a natural decrease an excess of deaths over births of 1,, over the to period. The loss was partially attenuated by the net gain of 1,, white immigrants.
Thus, the projected decline in the white population occurred eight years earlier than census projections predicted , contributing to the lower growth in the total U.
Nationally, the U. For most of these groups, natural increase was the primary contributor to growth. Asian Americans, Black residents, and persons of two or more races contributed 4. This is not just the case nationally, but for many individual areas within the United States as well. While white population losses are not evident in all parts of the country, it is fairly pervasive, with the main exceptions being places that attract white internal migrants. Between and , 27 states and 47 of the largest metropolitan areas showed white population losses.
The areas with the largest white population gains were highly represented in the Sun Belt download Tables C and D. Despite losses in white populations, only four states and eight metropolitan areas experienced total population declines. As of , the median age of single-race, non-Hispanic Black people is 35, compared with 30 in The median age for the entire Black population is 32, though it varies across the differing identities among the Black population.
Among Black Hispanic people, it is 22 years. Meanwhile, multiracial Black people are the youngest group, with a median age of Black population are members of Generation Z — born between and and ages 7 to 22 in A further one-in-ten were under the age of 7 that year.
Black population is age 22 or younger. Regionally, the share of the national Black population living in the South has grown. Meanwhile, somewhat higher shares lived the Midwest and Northeast in than in The growth of the Black population in the South suggests a departure from previous Black migration patterns.
The first half of the 20th century featured increasing shares of the population residing in regions of the U. Consequently, each decade featured decreasing shares of the Black population living in the South.
Starting in , shares of the Black population who live in the South have grown. With more than 3. Florida has the second largest population at 3. Other top states of residence include New York 3. Although the top five states of residence have remained the same for Black people as in , the order shifted substantially, with New York and California dropping from the two largest to fourth and fifth in In , New York 3. Top states of residence differ by racial subgroup. Notably, Texas, New York and Florida make the top five for all subgroups.
The metropolitan area with greatest number of Black people is the New York metropolitan area, with roughly 3. The New York City area has been the top urban center since at least for Black people, though other metro areas are on the rise. In , the Atlanta metropolitan area came in a distant second, with 2. By comparison, in , the Chicago metropolitan area had the second largest Black metro population and Atlanta had the fourth largest. The New York City metropolitan area has the largest Black population across the three Black racial and ethnic subgroups, but the other top large metropolitan areas differ across categories.
However, the top metropolitan areas for multiracial Black people and Black Hispanics differ.
