Is it true that Mandarin is the most spoken native language worldwide?
Yes. One reference source states Spanish is the world's second-most spoken native language after Mandarin Chinese, directly supporting the claim. Other sources give Mandarin large native-speaker counts and rank it above French, consistent but not explicitly first.
