Oman –

Language In Oman –
Arabic is an official language of Oman as Its an Arab Country.
Nearly half population of Oman constitutes of expatriate, most of them are from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan so they most of the people speak their native language.

Most of the Indians are from the state of Kerala so Malayalam is widely spoken, Bangladeshis speak Bengali while most of the Pakistanis speak Punjabi and Urdu, When they speak to each other they communicate in Hindi so I would say Hindi has widely spoken language in Oman after Arabic.

If you are working in the retail sector, offices or are medical professional then you should learn basic Arabic to communicate with Omani nationals as most of them only understand Arabic !!
