Finding out which language is spoken most in a country is very easy as it is also the official language of that state.

But the second most spoken language in a country is not always easy to find.


But Olivet Nazarene University, Business Insider writes, has conducted a wonderful study discovering which is the second most spoken language in most countries of the world. These data were obtained from the CIA's World Factbook.

Interesting is the other fact that in Albania, the second most spoken language is not English or Italian, but Greek.

Analyzing the second most spoken language in a country we can discover a lot about the history of that country or even the surrounding region.

For example, Algeria, Tanzania, and Tunisia, all of the second most widely spoken languages, are French because they were colonies in France.

While Albania has neighboring countries Greece and a large part of Albanians have emigrated there, while in our country there are also Greek minorities.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the second most spoken language is Croatian, in Montenegro Serbian as well as in Croatia, while in Macedonia Albanian is predominant.
