Belgium:
growing producer of synthetic drugs; transit point for US-bound ecstasy; source of precursor chemicals for South American cocaine processors; transshipment point for cocaine, heroin, hashish, and
marijuana entering Western Europe.
Not good! It's all Antwerp's fault :p |

Is this most spoken as a first language?
If you include people who speak it as a second or third language (such as yourself?) then English is probably top. I don't think I've ever met anyone who speaks Mandarin as a second language, yet people all over the world speak English as a second language. |

That's obvious
but everyone realizes that english is the language of business. |
