It's pretty ridiculous to assume that there are precisely or approximately zero native speakers of english in any country, much less a country where 60% of the population speaks english.

I don't think you should measure this by second tongues, otherwise you'd need to include most of Europe in this category. It's also harder to measure that native speakers.

And yeah, Alsatian is mostly, but fully not dead, however, the majority is still German in Südtirol, I think it should be included as well.

You should have started with this map.

Also, tiny nitpick, but åland is not part of Sweden, it is of Finland.

Also, Greenland is not part of Europe.

Also, I think you should divide superboni by tongue, not by country.

I haven't taken second lasnguages into account at all; Luxembourgish is spoken by a majority of people in luxembourg as well as being an official language.

Greenland isn't technically part of europe, but it is part of denmark, so I felt that it should be included.

Yes DerWyyy, I already told him about it but he refuses to listen.

I do not see why Ireland is added here since it is a Celtic land like Wales, whereas Alsace isn't and is a Germanic land not only in language but culture too.

But the map isn't called "descendants of the germanic tribes" or "germanic culture" - the map is called "Germanic languages". So it doesn't matter if "culturally and ethnically" Wales and Ireland are not germanic (if it is true or not).

Come on, the choice of the countries is pretty obvious!

French isn't a Germanic language although it was influenced a lot by it. Karl stop talking nonsense.
