Americans (inhabitants/citizens of US) when people from other countries come to theirs : "These people need to speak English"
Americans when they visit other people's countries : "Why don't these people speak English???"
EDIT : By the context of this post it's blatantly obvious which definition of 'American' is being used lol, but I added an explanation above anyway. π And yes there is more than one definition of "american", usually context makes it clear which is being used for most people
About 1.3 billion people (or approximately 16% of the world's population) speak a variety of Chinese as their first language.
Many of those "varieties" are not mutually intelligible and are actually considered unique, distinct languages
