Country Language Finder

Over 200: every UN member state, the two UN observer states (Vatican City and Palestine), and the major territories people search for most — Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Greenland, Kosovo, Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands.

Official languages come from constitutions and government sources. The 'approx. share of population' figures are commonly cited estimates, not census-exact numbers — and where we were not confident in a figure, we left it out rather than guess. If you spot an error, tell us through the comments and we will fix it.

An official language is used by government, schools and courts. A widely spoken language may be what everyone actually speaks at home — Haitian Creole in Haiti, for example, is spoken by the whole population while French is co-official. The finder shows both, labelled.

The US has no official language at the federal level — English is listed as de facto, spoken at home by about 79% of the population, with Spanish the most widely spoken second language.

South Africa leads with 12 official languages. Bolivia's constitution names 36 indigenous languages official alongside Spanish, and India recognises Hindi plus English at the union level with states setting their own. Switzerland famously runs on four: German, French, Italian and Romansh.
