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.

Filled bars are nationally official languages. Every bar is drawn against the largest language rather than against 100%, so a 1% language stays visible. 3 more languages sit below the top eight, at 1.3% combined.
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.
