What an odd question. Please remember that we share the English langauge with many other countries (U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africam, Canada, etc.) and therefore share the same alphabet.\n\nAdditionaly, many other languages have both more letters (or characters when talking about the various Chinese Dialects as well as Japanese) and more phonemes (different sounds). \n\nSo to answer your question, no.

There is no right answer. \n\n Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today. \n\n The United Nations has 191 members (including East Timor, the newest nation) but that number does not include the Vatican, an independent nation. \n\n The US State Department recognizes 192 independent countries around the world. but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it does not include Taiwan as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. \n\n Many World Almanacs use 192 countries, which is probably the best answer, but what about East Timor? Palestine? Greenland? Western Sahara? The political world is constantly changing.

Bengali (194 million), mainly spoken in India + Bangladesh\n8. Russian (145 million)\n9. Japanese (130 million)\n10. French (120 million)\n11. Punjabi (104 million), mainly spoken in India\n12.

because you can manage with english almost everywhere in the world\n\nThere are only 26 letters in the English alphabet. Isn't it amazing how writers can manipulate them to educate, entertain, evoke emotion and communicate ideas?\n\nToday, writers reach a global community through written words on the Internet. I believe it is the responsibility of English writers everywhere to familiarize themselves with variations in our shared language, and to open themselves to the diverse English-speaking countries and cultures that created them.\n\nEnglish is second only to Mandarin Chinese as the world's most spoken language. There may be many variations in the meaning of a word or phrase, not just country-to-country, but sometimes even region-to-region within a country. As writers, we need to understand these differences and write clearly so that our words are understood by all people who speak and read in English.

yeah you make good points. I would like to point out though that in some other countries, there is a greater emphasis on spelling and grammar. \n\nThis sort of "lazy english", although prolific among the younger set all over the world, shows up in ridiculous amounts even in "normal" writing in the US. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen the word "websight" in articles published in the NY Times?!! It's scary. \n\nI can't think of any other specific misspellings right now (words that are written phonetically instead of correctly) in esteemed publications and the forums of the general public, but I catch them fairly often - if I see any, I will post an update here.
