Language that is spoken internationally and often learned as a second language
A world language (sometimes global language, rarely international language) is a language that is geographically widespread and makes it possible for members of different language communities to communicate. The term may also be used to refer to constructed international auxiliary languages such as Esperanto. English is the foremost, and by some accounts the only, world language. Wikipedia
