Toponymic Footprint 597,798 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.

LanguagePlace names Share*Script
Chinese (zho) 557,974 98.7% Han (Simplified variant) +3
Tibetan (bod) 6,149 1.1% —
English (eng) 638 0.1% —
+ 12 further languages (364 names, each under 0.05%)

283,208 distinct features · 15 languages · 6 scripts · 290,501 names in non-Roman script · 13 conventional English names

* Shares are of the 565,125 names that carry a language code; the remaining 32,673 of 597,798 are unattributed, so these percentages do not divide into the headline count. Names follow the US/BGN convention.
