About Top Spoken Languages: Europe
Russian tops this list, which surprises people who forget how much of Russia's population is west of the Urals and therefore counted as Europe on most maps, including this site's. German, French and English follow closely, all in the 65–85 million range.
Spanish and Italian both sit in the 40–60 million band — Spanish counted here only for Spain itself, since the huge Spanish-speaking population of the Americas is on a different continent.
Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian and Dutch round out the list. Notably absent: Turkish, spoken by tens of millions, but overwhelmingly in Turkey — which this site, like most conventions, counts as Asia.
