India?
I have not a clue. I do know that in most of the Scandinavian countries, they speak English as well.
I would say Chinese could be the other 'dominant' language -- but it's vastly impractical from a global learning standpoint. Chinese is hard for Chinese people to learn. With English it's true there are a lot of words, but you only have to learn one alphabet. Even bare-bones 'functional' reading of Chinese requires the mastering of around 2,000 symbols -- and that's not saying you're totally literate in the language. Any language is easy in comparison to that. If you want to say that you don't have to know how to read it, the language is still difficult due to the extremely tonal nature of the speech -- more so than even other Asian languages.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
