Dilara86: Polish

Cynfelyn : Polish has 55 million native speakers. Hardly an uncommon language.

Dilara86: Chinese

Cynfelyn : Chinese has 1,200,000,000 native speakers. You have to add the number of native English speakers to the number of second language English speakers, PLUS those who speak English as a foreign language before you that sort of figure. By no stretch of the imagination can Chinese be called an uncommon language.
