The world's most widely spoken language by native speakers is Mandarin Chinese, with over 918 million native speakers. Mandarin Chinese is followed by Spanish, with 460 million native speakers, and English with 379 million native speakers.

It is worth noting that Mandarin Chinese is the official language of China and Taiwan, but there are many other languages spoken in these regions as well. Spanish is the official language of Spain and most of Latin America, and it is also widely spoken in the United States.

English, on the other hand, is the official language of over 50 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is also widely spoken as a second language in many other countries.
