Explanation:

When making a superlative statement about the wide - spread use of a language globally, the superlative form "the most widely spoken" is correct. "More widely spoken" is a comparative form and "more widely spoken than any language" is an incorrect superlative construction as it should be "more widely spoken than any other language" to be grammatically correct in a comparative sense.

Answer:

the most widely spoken language in the world
