this assumes one language per country. it would be more interesting to see a multilingual visualisation, eg how many people are able to communicate in english vs. french, even if it&#x27;s not their first language. that would give a good idea which languages are winning the homogenization.<p>also cantonese and mandarin people cannot understand each other, despite sharing some written characters, so lumping them together seems inaccurate, like lumping spanish and italians together because they have the same script.
