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.

People online

2.6M

0%world median 81%100%

87% of 3M people use the internet, per the World Bank's 2022 figure. CLDR population multiplied by that share, so read it as an estimate rather than a headcount.

Share of adults who can read, as recorded in CLDR territory data. Low literacy shifts a product toward icons, audio, and video before it shifts toward another language.

What people speak

Shares count first and second languages, so they sum past 100% and one bilingual person is counted twice.

Filled bars are nationally official languages. Every bar is drawn against the largest language rather than against 100%, so a 1% language stays visible.

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.
