Languages By Country: Global Mapping of Official and Common Tongues

Giving access to a mapping of official and commonly spoken languages for countries worldwide, containing fewer than 1,000 records. Created by brandontravel and updated in March 2026, it serves as a reference for developers building travel and translation tools.

Use Cases

• Mapping country names to official languages for travel application localization
• Filtering translation tool options based on geographic region
• Categorizing text classification models by regional language variants

Strengths

• CC0 1.0 Universal public domain license
• Global geographic coverage
• JSON format for direct programmatic ingestion

Limitations

• Small sample size of fewer than 1,000 rows
• Lack of detailed column metadata or source attribution
• Potential for oversimplification of complex linguistic regions
