Top Languages by Population
Looking at the top 12 languages by percentage of world population, you’ll see some languages like Javanese and Lahnda (which includes Panjabi) that are rarely included when a company prioritizes 20 languages or more.
Why do companies usually not prioritize languages by world population? Because they follow the money. After looking at factors specific to an industry or market, most companies will likely focus on the following languages and locales:
- Top Languages by Internet Usage
- Top Languages by GDP (Percentage of GWP)
- Top Countries by GDP (Percentage of GWP)
