Toponymic Footprint 42,491 place names from NGA GNS

Which languages name the landscape here, and in which writing systems. A language's toponymic footprint and its speaker population are different measures and often diverge. Counts include variant and foreign-language renderings of the same place, so a language can rank high because outside sources record names in it rather than because it is spoken locally — and a widely spoken language can be almost absent where official naming is in another language.

* Shares are of the 17,914 names that carry a language code; the remaining 24,577 of 42,491 are unattributed, so these percentages do not divide into the headline count. Names follow the US/BGN convention.
