I started doing this last year for the first time,
and I thought it’d be fun to do this again. Mostly because I’m procrastinating
on something I’m sure. So, I’m essentially following on the mold of last year’s
statistics. Enjoy!
— In 2015,
I started with Guinea-Bissau and ended with Lesotho.
— At the
end of 2015, I completed the 94th country for this blog. I did go
back and add in the three countries that are not part of the UN at the end, so
this now makes me 49% finished with this project. (I’m so close to the halfway
point!)
— Of all the
countries I have completed so far,
26 (27.65%) have been in Africa
24 (25.53%) have been in Europe
22 (23.40%) have been in Asia
9
(9.57%) have been in the Caribbean
7
(7.45%) have been in South America
5 (5.32%) have been in Central
America
1 (1.06%) has been in North America
— Of the 94
countries I have completed so far, 212 languages are represented in some
capacity, either as an official language or at some kind of
