First of all Hindi is not our (India's) single national language. There exists no such thing in our constitution. Languages in our constitution is devided into two categories. Namely Official languages (Central administrative)& Scheduled list of languages for official use.\n\nOfficial languages are Hindi and English\n\nAnother 22 regional languages for official use.\n\nOnly around 40% of Indians speak Hindi as mother tounge but nearly 70% can understand Hindi. And that's hardly a criteria for "Naional Language".

Pakistan has two national languages: Urdu and English.\n\nIn Urdu it's called پاکستان\n\nIn English it's called Pakistan.\n\nWhy Taiwan is also called Formosa and also called the Republic of China is a long question indeed.

I speak 7 different languages (of 7 different countries), including Tamil. It's not hard, when you put your mind to it. \n\nThe one advantage Tamil has over most Indian languages (that I myself find difficult to learn, only because I hadn't bothered), is you needn't cough your oesophagus out while trying to pronounce words (like in Hindi/ Urdu/ Arabic).\n\nYou'll get accustomed to the curly writings. Luckily, you have Tamil speaking friends whom you can listen and speak to at every given chance.

farsi is of course, what used to be called persian, and the national language of iran.  dari is a dialect of farsi, spoken in afghanistan.\nurdu is an entirely different langauge altogether.  in fact, urdu and hindi are the same language, but urdu is written in the arabic script, and hindi is written in the devenagari script.  the only difference is that urdu has many arabic words incorporated into it, because the speakers are muslim.  most of these arabic words are used in greetings, whereas in hindi, the greetings are associated with hinduism, etc.

Chinese.  1 billion+ people know how to speak it.  Many koreans and japanese, instead of taking English as their second language, are now taking Chinese.  China's economy is booming, and so currently is a great place for business.\n\nbut then again Wikipedia says:\n"Some assert that, after English, Spanish can now be considered the second most important language in the world (probably replacing even French), due to its increased usage in the United States, the high birth rate in most of the countries where it is official, the growing economies of the Spanish-speaking world, its influence on the global music market, and simply due to the broad number of areas on the Earth's surface that the language is spoken in."\n\nMe...I speak Chinese at home, English at school, and am taking AP Spanish right now.  =)
