Today is the day that florianwueest learns that "spoken language" is actually a really controversial topic lol Seriously though, I bet finishing up this project felt great, then posting it to HackerNews was a huge dopamine rush, and now... everybody's just pointing out issues left and right because they accidentally stepped on a dozen landmines that are irrelevant in day-to-day life for 99% of us but entirely relevan…

:'D

More localization can be added to highlight official languages with more granularity. In Florida, I came across spanish speaking people who did not know English. That experience was surreal.

Coming soon!

I don’t think you’ll be able to pull that off because you don’t have such a granular data majority of the time.

For example, Sindhi is a language spoken in just one province. Punjabi is a language native to two provinces in two countries.

Very interesting application. bug why use language to distinguish the world?

For travelling purposes & if you're a language learner - or generally interested in languages. Also, it gives you a sense of history - as the languages that countries speak are influenced by past colonization.

Make sense, thank you!
