German is an important language in business and stuff apparently. I'm sure they speak German in Switzerland lol.

They also speak French. In terms of business language, English is first, then Spanish then French. German is also important as a lot of financial places (Frankfort...) are in Germany.

German has about 110 million native speaker and French has about 90 million native speakers.

French is spoken in a lot of those countries you listed but it's not necessarily the main language in all of them.

4. Spanish - 392 million
5. Arabic - 246 million
6. Russian - 227 million
7. Bengali - 211 million
8. French - 192 million
9. Portuguese - 191 million
10. Malay-Indonesian - 159 million

What's Mandarin? I have a feeling it's Asian or something because China is huge!

If you read well, I said it's the official language of all of them. However some countries have 2 official languages (Canada, Switzerland...).

I read perfectly well thank you and just because it's official doesn't mean it's spoken by the majority of speakers. That should be obvious to anyone with half a brain cell since those countries' populations far surpass the number of native French speakers.
