All 1M+ Languages on the Map

Source: Ethnologue. Counting native speakers, though for some languages only the total number was available.
The colors indicate the language family:
Black: Indo-European
Light blue: Niger-Congo
Green: Austronesian
Pink: Afro-Asiatic
Dark blue: Sino-Tibetan
Purple: other.

Numbers can be outdated or rough estimates

The difference between separate languages or dialects is not clear-cut. I try to be lenient in the type-ins, suggestions are welcome.

The hint is the number of speakers in millions

Bravo, simply incredible!

Here's hoping this gets featured :)

This is really underrated

Level 69

Feb 9, 2023

Jula, Bambara and Malinke are different names for pretty much the same vernacular language, so I think they should be grouped together like Serbo-Croatian, Dutch-Limburgish-Afrikaans etc.

Mar 11, 2024

Thanks for your comment. It seems to be a mistake on that website. In any case I will stick to one source, which is Ethnologue.

Limburgish?

Level 79

Apr 20, 2025

Limburgish was added in last update. Thanks!

Level 47

Oct 19, 2024

There's no north or south Azerbaijani language - there's Azerbaijani language. So not factually correct quiz

Level 79

Apr 20, 2025

I followed Ethnologue on these matters, though, indeed, they sometimes make strange choices.

Level 70

Nov 1, 2024

Estonian?

Level 79

Nov 1, 2024

Something like 990,000 native speakers. Ethnologue considers Võro (South Estonian) a separate language.

Level 58

Nov 25, 2024

Estonian has more than 1 million when you count people who don't live in Estonia.

Level 79

Nov 25, 2024

Not according to the source I use (granted, Ethnologue is not perfect, but there exists no alternative)

Level 41

May 6, 2025

No Nahuatl? :(

(don't they have like 1.7M speakers with 1M speaking the Huastec dialect?)

Level 79

May 7, 2025

No, that was also a surprise for me. Ethnologue divides Nahuatl in no less than 28 languages. The Huasteca dialect itself consists of three entries: Western (400k), Central (196k) and Eastern (410k). Beware that these numbers may be outdated.

well im wanting to create a quiz with just as many languages i want. i dont really have any idea what im doing creating quizzes though

Level 79

Aug 11, 2025

I am always willing to help. The basics of making quizzes on Jetpunk are easy, you will figure it out. For making maps, see Jetpunk's SVG guide. As for the source data of this quiz, I can't help you, because I no longer have access to Ethnologue. If you have any questions, let me know.
