Most Used Scripts

Sources for samples texts are: Wikipedia, Babel Stone, Omniglot.com, the Mongolian government and the United Nations Thumbnail from: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Multilingual_%22no_loitering%22_sign,_SMRT_Headquarters_Building,_Singapore_-_20160724.jpg
If the name of the script is in the list of languages then the list is hidden.
Pollard script may also be on here but the most recent numbers I could find were from a Chinese source (which I don't speak) in the 1980s that cited 50k speakers and from what I can tell it is being replaced by Latin for the younger generations.
Two of these are technically 2 scripts and 3 scripts respectively (Marked in Purple)

There are no good numbers on the amount of people who can use Braille. Seemingly only around 10% of blind Americans can use it as of the 1950s and about 70% of employed blind Americans can use it today. there is very little information elsewhere as far as I could find.
