Answer 1

yawn, next

Answer 2

Your call on Hindi is totally wrong.  Most Hindi speakers do not speak English, where did you get that misinformation?  In fact, in the whole of India where many languages are spoken (about 200 or so) less than 10% are fluent in English.

Hindi is the NUMBER 3 language in the world in terms of numbers spoken.  Then there is Urdu, spoken in India and Pakistan which is intelligible for the most part to Hindi speakers and vice versa.

By the way Hindu is a religion in India, it is not a nationality.   Many Hindus DO NOT speak Hindi.  Go to Tamil Nadu (South Eastern India) where they speak Tamil and do not particularly like Hindi  and speak Hindi and get your *** kicked. Mostly Hindus live in Tamil Nadu.

波斯语(Farsi): If you have something to do with Iranian, and it has a great history and culture as well, it's a good choice for you if you live in Iran.
