But everybody is a native speaker of something. Which is what I had in mind :).

And of course there is no native language - if there was, the number of languages on Earth would be exactly two: 1) native, 2) foreign.

BTW, not even a nice try. You won't find me having said "speakers of native". I did mention "native speakers".
