~~Wait, isn't French second with 210k?~~

Sorry, misread, you are correct about native speakers!
Is Latin America not the western world? That would add another 200 million or so Spanish speakers.
We have too much melanin to join the club.
Aren't Spanish speakers on their own link agregator, https://www.meneame.net/ ?
No idea. But they said "German is the second most spoken native language in the West after English" whereas the wikipedia article is on Europe, so that would exclude Latin America if it's part of the west. I believe if they are included, they absolutely dwarf the number of German speakers.
It seems that it's not that clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world#/media/File:Western_World_Latin_America_torn_countries.png
Ohhh that's going to piss off Greek Nazis. The fascist Junta back in the days was all in on "we're western we're the source of everything western we are the west", not to mention "Turks are filthy pigs we have nothing in common with them", meanwhile, the music.
It's a good question though why there are so few Spanish speakers here (or at least visible).
