Territory-Language Information

The language data is provided for localization testing, and is under development for CLDR 1.5. The main goal is to provide approximate figures for the literate, functional population for each language in each territory: that is, the population that is able to read and write each language, and is comfortable enough to use it with computers.

The GDP and Literacy figures are taken from the World Bank where available, otherwise supplemented by FactBook data and other sources. The GDP figures are "PPP (constant 2000 international $)". Much of the per-language data is taken from the Ethnologue, but is supplemented and processed using many other sources, including per-country census data. (The focus of the Ethnologue is native speakers, which includes people who are not literate, and excludes people who are functional second-langauge users.)

The percentages may add up to more than 100% due to multilingual populations, or may be less than 100% due to illiteracy or because the data has not yet been gathered or processed. Languages with a small population may be omitted.

Official status is supplied where available, formatted as {O}. Hovering with the mouse shows a short description.
