What would you call a world language in Italian?

Google definition: "a language known or spoken in many countries."

World languages are English, Spanish, French.

*there seems to be a second definition: "an artificial language for international use." but that is not what I mean.

I think that the one that I do NOT mean is this: lingua universale, lingua internazionale

But I am looking for translation of the first meaning ("a language known or spoken in many countries.").

Thank you.
