Toponymic Footprint 34,046 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.
