The effects of colonialism can be seen quite clearly in this map. Many people used either English, French, Spanish or Portuguese, and that’s not a coincidence.
Even the Holy See speaks English. Sometimes speaking the language everyone else understands is just being a decent guy.
I was trying to figure out why Myanmar spoke Mongolian, then I realized the Mongolian color and the not in the UN color were very similar
Same for me trying to figure out why Italy would go with Portuguese.
I'm surprised by South Korea not using Korean, and slightly surprised by Japan not using Japanese.
