Notes:

Official and Co-Official Languages

Some nations have multiple Official languages (eg Switzerland, Belgium) and appear in the list more than once.

List made using the January 18, 2012 FIFA Rankings

Some of the most widely spoken languages (eg Mandarin, Hindustani, Bengali, Punjabi, Javanese, Japanese, Korean, etc) were not in the list because they would include less than 5 FIFA nations.
