"There are nouns ~ing"

"There are many people studying English in the world."

Although this sentence looks easy, all of a sudden, I got confused with it. I have known 'studying English in the world' just modifies 'many people' in front and 'that or who are' is omitted but some people say 'many people are studying English (there) in the world.', so they explain the sentence structure with an inversion of 'there' and say "there are many people left now" is the same as "many people are left now", not "there are many people that are left now." What do native English speakers here think about it and which one is right or either one is okay and we should distinguish by contexts? Thank you so much as usual and I really hope to hear from you again.

PS. Which one is more natural to you, "distinguish by contexts or distinguish in context or distinguish through contexts"?
