    No offense, but this is a horrible map and it is just as bad as the first time it was posted today: US + Canada (why are they grouped in with these cherry picked European countries?) and a dozen European countries on top of giving no context of the person’s proficiency in the language, the whole thing just doesn’t really make a lot of sense, if you wanted to do a map of the US Canada and Europe do something remotely coherent like a map of leaders of NATO countries, feels like this is just made by a North American who just picked random European countries they thought would be interesting.

    Poor Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden not even speaking their countries’ languages :(

    (One of the first things I learned when I joined the Localization industry was to never use a flag to represent a language!)

    This always amazes me. Given the fact that these people are being chosen among thousands and trusted for representing their country internationally, I am overwhelmed by how many of them cannot even speak more than their native language and some English.
