At a glance
Each figure is drawn against the rest of the world, so a number means something before you have any other market to compare it with.

94% of 469.7K people use the internet, per the World Bank's 2024 figure. CLDR population multiplied by that share, so read it as an estimate rather than a headcount.

What people speak
Shares count first and second languages, so they sum past 100% and one bilingual person is counted twice.
One country understates a language. CLDR records diaspora too, so a language usually reaches further than any single page shows. The language profiles show each one's full footprint.
