Do the Chinese know that Korean is the 4th most spoken language in the world and Japanese is the 3rd most spoken language in the world?

中国人知道韩语是世界上使用人数第四多的语言，日语是世界上使用人数第三多的语言吗？

以下是Quora读者的评论：

Luka Lu
Are you serious？Korean？4th most？
Expect for the shameless 2002 world cup, Korea can be 4th in what area?

你是认真的吗？韩语？使用人数排第四？

除了那无耻的2002年世界杯，韩国在哪个领域能排到第四啊？

ZhiG Chen
I think you are wrong.
India is the most populous country in the world, so Hindi is the first most spoken language in the world.
America is the most powerful country in the world, so American is the second most spoken language in the world.
South Korea and Japan, they have US military bases, so they use American, which is the second most spoken language in the world. It will not be ranked third and fourth at all.

我觉得你错了。

印度是世界上人口最多的国家，所以印地语是世界上使用人数第一多的语言。

美国是世界上最强大的国家，所以美式英语是世界上使用人数第二多的语言。

韩国和日本，有美国军事基地，所以他们使用（作为世界第二大语言的）美式英语。韩语和日语根本不可能排到第三和第四。

Bob Chew
Yes, Chinese people not only know but also many people can speak Korean, even many people in their 90s can, because when they were young, they went to South Korea from the 38th parallel without passports.

是的，中国人不仅知道韩语，而且很多人还会说韩语，甚至很多90多岁的人都会，这些人年轻时，曾在没有护照的情况下越过三八线进入韩国。

Yes Ink
Sorry, we don't know.
After all, India is the most developed country in Asia, and we have always thought that Hindi is more popular worldwide.
After all, South Korea is a developed country after India, while China is just a weak develo country, and many things in the world are unknown.

抱歉，我们并不知道啊

毕竟，印度被认为是亚洲最为发达的国家，我们一直以来都觉得印地语在全球范围内更为流行。

毕竟，韩国是仅次于印度的发达国家，而中国仅仅是一个发展中国家，是弱国，世界上的许多事情我们还并不了解。

When I see this question, I feel so funny just like when I know the world map of korea version. I found Quora is a very good site. I always can find out some stupid question. I am a Chinese, as I know, English is the first language, next maybe Spanish or Arabic. Chinese is the most speaking language before because of the population.

当我看到这个问题时，感觉十分滑稽，就如同我了解到韩国版本的世界地图时一样。我发现Quora是个很“不错”的网站，总能让我碰到一些愚蠢的问题。我是一名中国人，据我所知，英语是使用最广泛的语言，其次或许是西班牙语或阿拉伯语。此前，由于人口众多，中文曾是使用人数最多的语言。

Jiwoo Hong
Whoever is asking this question is not Korean nor Japanese, but most likely someone who is trying to discredit both ethnicities.
Koreans and Japanese are not idiots. Both know very well that their languages fall behind the leaderboard for the most widely spoken languages.

提出这个问题的人，既不是韩国人也不是日本人，极有可能是试图诋毁这两个民族的人。

韩国人和日本人并非愚昧无知之辈，他们都清楚地知道，自己国家语言的使用人数排名靠后。

Byron of Hellas
We don't know and we don't care.
We only know that the six major languages ​​of the United Nations are: English, Chinese, French, Russian, Arabic and Spanish.

我们既不知道，也并不在意。

我们只知道联合国的六大官方语言是：英语、中文、法语、俄语、阿拉伯语和西班牙语。

Wooseok Hong
Who is asking such a ridiculous question? As a Korean I have never heard of such a stupid claim and I keep seeing them, as if Koreans in general have no idea what reality is like. In fact, we Koreans clearly know that we only have 50 million people, that not many people are fluent in Korean outside Korea, that officially Chinese characters are Chinese, that the land we are living in is not spacious particularly when compared to our neighbors, we don’t think Confucius was Korean, we don’t think Jesus was Korean etc.
But we do know that our kingdoms lasted for hundreds of years. Almost every single one of them, unlike our neighbor, many of whose kingdoms barely lasted one hundred years.
So please stop making such ridiculous comments and/or questions pretending you are Korean.

是谁在问如此荒谬的问题？作为一名韩国人，我从未听闻过这般愚蠢的说法，却还总是看到这类言论，仿佛全体韩国人都不了解现实情况一样。

事实上，我们韩国人清楚地知道，我们仅有五千万人口，在韩国之外，没有多少人能流利地说韩语，而且官方认定汉字是属于中国的，我们所居住的土地并不辽阔，尤其是与邻国相比。我们也不认为孔子是韩国人，也不认为耶稣是韩国人，诸如此类的问题。

但我们确实知道，我们的王朝延续了数百年之久。几乎每一个王朝都是如此，这与我们的邻国不同，邻国的许多王朝存续时间几乎都不到一百年。

所以，请别再装作是韩国人，别提这样的问题了。

Gavin Lee
No one cares if Korean is fourth, but it's true that Koreans make the world sick.
Basically, only Koreans speak Korean, and there's no Korean in any official setting. If it's true that it's the fourth, the Korean population has increased? That would be disgusting to the whole world.

没人在意韩语是不是排第四，但韩国人确实让全世界都感到厌恶。

基本上，只有韩国人说韩语，而且在任何官方场合都没有使用韩语的情况。如果韩语真的排第四，那是韩国人口激增了吗？那可真是会让全世界都觉得恶心。

Clovers
I just want to ask, what does this have to do with us China people? Why should we know? Your question shows that you are an idiot. If you ask China people that Chinese ranks third and fourth, then I will answer your question well, otherwise I will call you stupid.

我就想问，这跟我们中国人有什么关系？我们为什么要知道？你的问题暴露了你的智商。如果你问中国人汉语的排名是不是第三或第四，那我会好好回答你的问题，否则我就说你傻。

你们这些人应该把韩国改名为“小韩国”，这既可爱又好记。

Nancy Closson
I have looked at many lists, Encyclopedia Brittanica for example. Japanese is listed as number 9. Korean is listed as number 12. If dialects are included in the ranking of the language, for example, Hindi plus Urdu plus Hinustani they would count for more speakers than speakers of English although these three languages are unintelligible to each other. In some reports Chinese is considered as the most spoken language in the world because all of its dialects are counted in. If the dialects are not included English is considered the most spoken language in the world.

我查阅过许多排行榜单，比如《大英百科全书》的榜单。日语排名第九，韩语排名第十二。如果将方言也纳入语言的排名统计，例如，把印地语、乌尔都语和印度斯坦语加在一起，使用人数会超过英语，尽管这三种语言相互之间无法互通理解。在一些报告中，汉语被认为是世界上使用人数最多的语言。如果不计算方言，英语则被认为是世界上使用人数最多的语言。

Karl-Erlend Mikalsen
But I am sure that Japanese and Korean are the 3rd and 4th most spoken languages in the world is not one of them.

我可以肯定的是，日语和韩语是世界上使用人数第三和第四多的语言，这一说法绝对是错误的。

Bai Deng
Which parallel universe's Korean is the 4th most spoken language in the world?
Why don't you say Korean 1st most spoken language in the world?

这是哪个平行宇宙里的韩语，成了世界上使用人数第四多的语言？

你怎么不说韩语是世界上使用人数第一多的语言呢？

Ann Liggett
I don't believe this is accurate - English is first, Chinese second, Hindi third , Spanish fourth , and many other languages rank higher.

我不认为这种说法是准确的——英语排第一，汉语排第二，印地语排第三，西班牙语排第四，而且还有许多其他语言的排名比韩语和日语更靠前。

Noel Leong
The followings are extracted from Encyclopedia Britannica:

Top 10 languages in the world with the highest number of native speakers:

Chinese (1,346,000,000 [Mandarin: 939,237,350])
Spanish (485,063,960)
English (379,682,200)
Arabic (373,000,000 [Egyptian Arabic: 77,436,230])
Hindi (344,650,870)
Portuguese (236,266,650)
Bengali (233,808,880)
Russian (146,954,150)
Japanese (123,285,670)
Lahnda (103,000,000 [Western Punjabi: 66,715,480])

Korean is at the 16th spot on this list.

Top 10 languages in the world with the highest number of total speakers (native + non-native):

English (1,456,448,320)
Mandarin Chinese (1,138,222,350)
Hindi (609,454,770)
Spanish (559,078,890)
French (309,804,220)
Standard Arabic (273,989,700)
Bengali (272,828,760)
Russian (254,997,130)
Portuguese (263,638,850)
Urdu (231,717,940)

Japanese is at the 13th spot on this list, while Korean is at 24th.

Hence, the assertion in the question that Japanese and Korean are the third and fourth most spoken language in the world is way out, irrespective of whether we are looking at the number of native speakers or total speakers.

以下内容摘自《大英百科全书》：

世界上母语使用人数最多的前十种语言：

汉语（13.46亿 ，其中普通话使用人数9.3923735亿）
西班牙语（4.8506396亿）
英语（3.796822亿）
阿拉伯语（3.73亿 ，其中埃及阿拉伯语：7743.623万人）
印地语（3.4465087亿）
葡萄牙语（2.3626665亿）
孟加拉语（2.3380888亿）
俄语（1.4695415亿）
日语（1.2328567亿）
拉亨达语（1.03亿 ，其中西旁遮普语：6671.548万人）

韩语在这份榜单中排名第16位。

世界上使用总人数（母语使用者+非母语使用者）最多的前十种语言：

英语（14.5644832亿）
汉语普通话（11.3822235亿）
印地语（6.0945477亿）
西班牙语（5.5907889亿）
法语（3.0980422亿）
标准阿拉伯语（2.739897亿）
孟加拉语（2.7282876亿）
俄语（2.5499713亿）
葡萄牙语（2.6363885亿）
乌尔都语（2.3171794亿）

日语在这份榜单中排名第13位，而韩语排名第24位。

因此，无论从母语使用人数还是总使用人数来看，问题中所说的日语和韩语是世界上使用人数第三和第四多的语言这一说法，都是大错特错的。

Sean Land
No we don’t know.
They didn't tell us such a big news.
but where’re Japanese and Korean?
I can’t find them in any normal rank data.

不，我们不知道。

也没人告诉我们这个“重大”的消息。

但日语和韩语的排名多少呢？

我在任何正规的排名数据中都找不到它们出现在前列。

Jonan Ng
Nobody cares. Chinese language 2nd most spoken in the world

没人在意。汉语是世界上使用人数第二多的语言。

Michael Teo
So what does it matter which language is “most spoken” ? People in general will learn a foreign language when it is necessary for them, such as doing business with foreign partners, etc.. Other than this, trying to compare which language is “most spoken” is a total waste of time, plain and simple !!! I am sure you have more important things in your life to focus on !!!

那么，哪种语言是“使用最广泛的”又有什么关系呢？一般来说，人们会在有需要的时候学习一门外语，比如和外国合作伙伴做生意等等。除此之外，比较哪种语言“使用最广泛”完全就是浪费时间，道理就这么简单！我相信在你的生活中，还有更重要的事情值得你去关注！

James Lim
Do the Chinese know that Korean is the 4th most spoken language in the world and Japanese is the 3rd most spoken language in the world?
I would really like to see proof and evidence of your claim before anymore discussion regarding your question…
With a population of over 1.4 billions in India… I kind of have a feeling your question is Bullsh*t…

中国人知道韩语是世界上使用人数第四多的语言，日语是世界上使用人数第三多的语言吗？

在进一步讨论你的问题之前，我真的很想看到你这种说法的证据

印度有超过14亿的人口，我总觉得你的问题简直是一派胡言

Charles Whitchurch
Did you know that Korean and Japanese are not even in the top ten?

你知道吗，韩语和日语甚至都排不进前十呢。

Liu Asum
Why do the Chinese think that Japanese is the 3rd most spoken language in the world and Korean is the 4th most spoken language in the world?
South Korea and Japan have never been economically and culturally dominant countries. They have always been weak countries in history. Except for Japan's brief military power, Japan has never colonized any country for a long time, so Japanese cannot become a popular language.
The top 10 languages ​​are usually because the countries that use these languages ​​have been, or are still, economically and culturally dominant countries in history, or have been long-term global colonies.
The following is Wikipedia data:

The number of people using Japanese is ranked 13th, and the number of people using Korean is ranked 24th.

为什么会觉得中国人认为日语是世界上使用人数第三多的语言，韩语是世界上使用人数第四多的语言呢？

韩国和日本从未成为经济和文化上占据主导地位的国家。在历史上，它们一直都是相对弱小的国家。除了日本曾有过短暂的军事力量强盛时期，但日本也从未长期殖民过任何国家，所以日语不可能成为一种广泛流行的语言。

排名前十的语言，通常是因为使用这些语言的国家在历史上曾经是，或者现在仍然是，在经济和文化上占据主导地位的国家，又或者是曾长期作为全球殖民地的国家。

以下是维基百科的数据：

日语的使用人数排名第13位，韩语的使用人数排名第24位。

King Yang

Another arrogant and foolish Korean! First, you Koreans should completely change your names to write only in Hangul, not using Chinese characters. Your so-called professors are already claiming that Chinese characters were invented in Korea!

又一个自大愚蠢的韩国人！请首先把你们韩国人姓名，完全改为你们韩国的谚文来写吧，不要使用汉字了，你们的所谓教授已经在叫嚣说汉字是韩国发明的了！
