Toponymic Footprint 301,477 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
Japanese (jpn) 290,574 99.1% Han (Hanzi, Kanji, Hanja) +7
Russian (rus) 1,972 0.7% Cyrillic
English (eng) 626 0.2% Latin

* Shares are of the 293,173 names that carry a language code; the remaining 8,304 of 301,477 are unattributed, so these percentages do not divide into the headline count. Names follow the US/BGN convention.
