Beautiful chart displays native speakers of world's languages

Calling ‘Chinese’ a single language is more than a nit…

ETA: I finally got through to the full size image*, which does claim to address this. It calls ‘Chinese’ a ‘macrolanguage’ containing several individual languages and dialects. Okay; acknowledged, but it’s still a bit odd to combine them that way.

*: Privacy Badger really doesn’t like that site, reporting 43 potential trackers, including the one serving the image.
