>put all Chinese languages (which differ a lot) in one block
>make a difference between Standard- and Austrian-German
What kind of bullshit is this?
Connor Baker
>French is limited to france
Brandon White
Hindi and Bengali subhumans are not WHITE and need to be NUKED
Daniel Gomez
No, it's not, mabe it seems too low for you but that's because it only includes first-language speakers.

Isn't the population of the major Anglo countries literally larger than the supposed number of native English speakers?
Connor Torres
>make a difference between Standard- and Austrian-German
>Major related varieties are Bavarian [bar], Swabian [swg], Alemannisch [gsw], Eastern Franconian [vmf], Hessisch, Palatinian, Rheinfränkisch, Westphalien [wep], Saxonian, Thuringian, Brandenburgisch, and Low Saxon [nds]. Many varieties are not mutually intelligible. Our present treatment is incomplete. Standard German is one High German variety, developed from the chancery of Saxony, gaining acceptance as the written standard in the 16th and 17th centuries. High German refers to dialects and languages in the upper Rhine region.
See macrolanguage below.
>What kind of bullshit is this?
Each Chinese language/dialect/topolect has a different ISO 639-3 Code, so they are considered different languages, they are just bundled together in the figure in one block because the individual languages are members of a bigger macrolanguage, as you can see this also applies to languages such as "Arabic", "Landha", "Persian" and "Malay".

Yes, but not everybody in the Anglo countries has English as a firs-language, for example according to the American Community Survey carried out in 2016, only 79% of the population aged 5 and older spoke English at home in the United States, according to the 2016 Census of Population, only 55.97% spoke English as a mother tongue in Canada, according to the Special Eurobarometer 386: Europeans and their Languages published in June 2012, only 88% and 93% of the national population of the European Union countries aged 15 years and over has English as a mother tongue in the United Kingdom and Ireland, respectively, etc.

>are not WHITE
well tbf neither are you
Jayden Diaz
>55.97%
Sorry it's only 55.97% when counting only "single responses", a better figure would be actually 58.1% including multiple responses (People who declared more than one mother tongue), and that excludes institutional residents.

>source says 274 millions
>OP map says 76 millions
Landon Cook
>274 millions
yes, but that not only includes "first-language speakers" but also "second-language speakers" and "foreign-language speakers" if we add those three Spanish would have around 572 million speakers and English anything from 1400 to 1500 million speakers

Retarded list german should be at least 140 million
outside of Germany, Austria, switzerland , germany is spoken in small enclaves around the world including South america, Africa, and russia, and eastern europe

Yes, France is the only official language de jure at a national level in those countries, but that doesn't mean that everybody has French as a mother tongue, see this for some examples I already posted, for example according to Jacques Leclerc from l'Université Laval only 0,1% of the population in the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville) has French as a mother tongue and according to the Special Eurobarometer 386: Europeans and their Languages, also mentioned above, only 93% of the national population of the European Union countries aged 15 years and over has French as a mother tongue in France.
Wyatt Carter
as stated multiple times in the thread (and in the original picture itself), the numbers are only for first-language speakers.
Nolan Gonzalez
>OP map
it's not a map
Josiah Hall

otherwise english would be 2nd or even higher than chinese.

Mandarin is a meme language. Sichuanese for instance isn't intelligible with Standard Mandarin.
Daniel Harris
>japanese
>spoken in 2 countries
Caleb Clark
In order to have a separate language entry in the language listings for the country, that language has to have a well-established, multi-generational community of language users in the country and not spoken mainly by relatively recently arrived or transient populations.
Jeremiah Jenkins
yeah, and what i meant is i don't know such a country other than japan, so it should be one
Henry Phillips
What is the second country?
Jonathan Ramirez
I would guess US, Brazil or Peru
Liam Cook
Or some random Pacific island they occupied during the WW.
