The linguistic diversity that exists within Europe is one of the cultural riches of the "Old Continent". The most widely spoken of the European languages is English (41%), followed by French (19%), German (10%), Spanish (7%) and Italian (3%).
The world's history has been strongly influenced by Europe's own, so much so that today many European languages can be found just about everywhere.
English is the quintessential lingua franca. It is an official language in 45 countries (including two European ones), and numbers around 508 million speakers.
French: 33 countries around the world have adopted it (including 5 in Europe), and it is spoken by a total of 129 million people.
Spanish: it has become the official language of 20 countries with around 392 million speakers.
Portuguese: the official language of 7 countries and spoken by around 191 million people.

Slavic languages constitute one of the most important and most homogeneous branches of the Indo-European language family. Altogether they are spoken by more than 315 million people around the world. The main Slavic languages are Russian (170 million), Polish (44 million), Ukrainian (41 million), Serbo-Croat (20 million), Czech (12 million), Bulgarian (9 million), Macedonian (2 million), Belarusian (10.2 million), Slovak (5.6 million) and Slovene (2.2 million).
The greatest differences between Slavic languages are to be found in their written forms. Slavs who were converted to Christianity by the Roman Catholic Church use the Latin alphabet, while those Christianized by the Byzantine or Orthodox Church use the Cyrillic alphabet. Therefore, the Catholic inheritance favoured the Latin alphabet in Croatian, Polish, Czech, Slovak and Slovene, while the inheritance of the Orthodox world favoured the Cyrillic alphabet in Serbian, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Macedonian.

In its broadest sense, the Middle East takes in an area extending from Egypt and Turkey to Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the Arabian Peninsular and the Near East (Turkey, Syria, the Lebanon, Israel, and the Autonomous Territories of Palestine, Jordan and Egypt).
The 268 million inhabitants of the area are divided among 16 states, some of which have populations of a few hundred thousand (for example Bahrain and Qatar) while others have populations of over 60 million (such as Egypt, Iran and Turkey). This region appears as a mosaic of nations, ethnic groups and religions. Arabic, whose speakers number 130 million people, is the most widely spoken of the Semitic languages. Hebrew, too, the official language of the State of Israel, is a Semitic language.
