OT: Map of Most Spoken Languages in the EU

[SD Transplant]

I find these maps interesting and worth sharing. Also, I don’t know how accurate the percentages are but good to know what’s up when traveling in the EU.

P.S. Do you piggs know the equivalent of such infographis/maps for Asia or South America?

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

You won’t have any problem in Europe. English is spoken increasingly widely and embarrassingly well. Just don’t make that assumption with everyone you meet as it might offend.

Asia:
Malaysia widely spoken
Singapore widely spoken
Philippines probably widely spoken
Taiwan fairly widely spoken
Thailand in tourist areas
Cambodia not so widely spoken
China in major cities
Japan probably OK in tourist areas

Nearly everywhere speaks a bit of English, but native English speakers are not nearly as good at reciprocating.
