This South Asian Language Is The Most Spoken Foreign Language In London

A study by City Lit, an adult education college and charity, reveals that Bengali is the most commonly spoken foreign language in London. A survey conducted in 2019 indicates that 311,210 London residents mainly speak a foreign language at home. On the contrary, less than one in 10 English-speaking people can speak a second language fluently.

The survey by the City Lit has ranked Bengali, Polish, and Turkish as the top foreign languages spoken in London's diverse linguistic fabric. Interestingly, six of the 10 most spoken languages after English come from outside Europe, being Bengali, Gujarati, Panjabi, Urdu, Arabic, and Tamil. The four European languages in the top 10 are Polish, Turkish, French, and Portuguese.
