You have to love linguasofts cool.gif

Also, you may have noticed that for some countries, the total is way over 100%.
Check France with its 141%! That simply means that a lot of people know at least 2 languages (mostly French as a native and English as a second language).

In the real world there are countries that nearly everyone speaks 3-5 languages. There are reason for having a more than a 100% languages, there really isn't one for have less than 100%.

Currently in Portugal an estimated 8% of the resident population (not national population) doesn't speak enough Portuguese to pass a secondary school exam, the numbers are similar in France and the UK despite the increasing restrictions on immigration.

And large part of California and the Mid-west do not speak English..But they do speak Spanish. And if you can add all those people up to make say eve .5% You have a lot of spanish speakers.

Actually to be fair restrictions are increasing, they just don't seem to be doing a great deal.
