Toponymic Footprint 9,759 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
Russian (rus) 5,120 63.8% Cyrillic +1
Romanian (ron) 2,778 34.6% —
Ukrainian (ukr) 86 1.1% Cyrillic
English (eng) 31 0.4% —
+ 4 further languages (5 names, each under 0.05%)

* Shares are of the 8,020 names that carry a language code; the remaining 1,739 of 9,759 are unattributed, so these percentages do not divide into the headline count. Names follow the US/BGN convention.
