mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
Yes, while I think that English will probably come out on top, there are many languages that would likely finish ahead of French,
among the many nationalities that post to this forum.

Anyway, coming back to the topic, I speak Bengali and Hindi as my main languages. But I haven't really mastered them. English comes after those two, as it's not spoken that widely in India ( ).

But I know quite a few languages. I can read and write English (notice how it comes first here) and Hindi fluently. I can read and write Bengali, Marathi and Sanskrit, but with some difficulties.

And, I could not vote in the poll. Due to the fact that my mother-tongue is Bengali. But the language I like the most is English.

Can you understand Sanskrit? I do.

I don't know much about the status of English, but a guy once told me 30-40% of Indians can speak English, but I found that farfetched. Is it true?
