 No.  Thats false.

6% of the world’s population speaks English as their first language .

20% of the world’s population speaks English as a second language.

75% of people don’t speak English at all.

Well under 50% of the world’s population speaks English of any kind.

 I think more people on this planet speak Russian as a first language than English.

The brainwashing of the Anglo-sphere is quite in depth...
