Not sure why some languages aren’t listed explicitly: e.g. 7876 people are listed as speaking “Northern European language (non EU)”.
**Update**: Isle of Man shouldn’t be coloured red, as it’s not part of England or Wales. In fact, there are 8 native Manx Gaelic speakers listed. Also, Slovene is in fact listed (as Slovenian), with 2371 speakers. Fixed version [here](https://i.imgur.com/a9Hl3em.png).
The legend and tittle are so confusing, I’m still trying to understand
Poles really are fond of the Uk, huh?
Using state-level geopolitical borders is a terrible idea. Take Catalan for example. If there were, say, 50,000 Catalan speakers in the UK, you would have to Andorra has having the majority of its population living in the UK, even if those speakers were from Barcelona. Sorry, but thumbs down.

What is this exchange program for Poland and Great Britain?
Little Warsaw
Polska Gurom?
6,666 Hebrew speakers. Holy land indeed
So, the Netherlands is this beautiful place in Wales and England, where we speak 19062 European languages? That’s pretty cool!
Main language = Native language?
No idea what this map is supposed to show, beyond the fact that England and Wales exist and people there speak European languages.
A infograph is a bit like the punchline of a joke: if you have to explain it it’s probably not that good.
To everyone confused: on this map the countries don’t represent the countries but each country’s main language. For example more than 600 k people in England speak Polish because there is the number 600 k over Poland.
Pretty large differences between Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian.
Those 13 Ulster Scots speakers tho
Interesting. At least on my part the map is clear in its intent. Although (for example) are Spanish and Portuguese speakers Europeans or South Americans and what is going on in the Middle-East?
Anyway how about some data on non-European languages in England&Wales or the whole UK.
Cant be correct.
It says there are only 12 500 Swedish speakers in England + Wales. But I know for a fact there are atleast an equivalent number of Swedes living in London.
Here is an article from the swedish national newsagency which claims there were 100 000 registered Swedes in London 2018, but estimated to be higher than that.

That more than 90% of them would have disapeared due to Brexit seems a bit unlikely.
The question is who does the census entail? Only british citizens?
The guy who did this map should have been on psychedelic recreational drugs.
There was a survey in London asking if the numbers of poles is a problem, the two most common answers were:
– Yes, they are a bloody menace
– Nie, nie sądzę że to problem
