After Swahili, Igbo Language is the 2nd most spoken language in Africa.

Swahili - 3 countries (south Africa, Kenya, Tanzania)
Igbo - 2 countries (Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea)

Almost every country in Africa has an Igbo speaking migrant community.

Hausa is still the dominant language in the northern belt of West Africa. No wifing there at all. Fulanis speak Hausa.

You're right a lot of educated Fula of the younger generation don't even speak Fulfulde at all

WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SPEAKING HAUSA IN WEST AFRICA BUT THEY ALLOWED FULANI TO WIFE THEM AND RELEGATE THEM TO THE OTHER ROOM.


WHO WANT TO THEM IN THE OTHER ROOM?
Even the Fulanis speak Hausa. Hausa is more widely spoken in Fulani enclaves like Adamawa, than fulfulde.

Mandarin is largely there because of the population size of those speaking it within one nation...!

It isn't widely spoken, and shouldn't be on that list.

Meanwhile the slaves are bragging about speaking their masters' languages better than the masters. They even mock those amongst them who can't speak the colonial masters' languages well.
