Top languages in the world

"1st languages spoken worldwide
Mandarin 12%
Spanish 5%
English 5%
Arabic 3%
Hindi 3%
Bengali 3%
Portuguese 3%"

PS This is what I want to know, many languages (like Javanese which is spoken by 1.25 of the world population) are far more widely spoken than Hebrew but Hebrew is far more widely taught at US colleges and universities.  Can someone give me a non-political answer?
