This is only showing native speakers so I feel like the title's a bit misleading

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's saying first-language speakers

It only says that below the main title, and from the wording it's also unclear if that's what it's actually intended to show or just the cutoff for a language being represented.

Like, it could be interpreted as showing L1+L2 speakers of languages with >50m L1 speakers

I think that one should always read the subtitles anyway

Ok. I admit I missed the label in the top right saying "Native Speakers (millions)"
