Do you find a good reference for the amount of contemporary written production per language?
Chinese is often cited as the language that currently has the most native speakers (followed by spanish and the english); however written production doesn't necessarily have to follow that metric.
For example I'm by no means a native English speaker yet my written production in english outweighs my native language production by several orders of magnitude (I mostly write grocery lists in my native language, that's it)
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoI am not a native speaker of English and yet somehow find myself writing my todo lists in English. I produce little more texts in my native language than some social communication.
