if they can't understand each other then it shouldn't be considered the same language.
that'd be like considering all the nordic languages to be 1 same language.

this. it's really strange they groups the mutually unintelligeable Chinese varieties when hispanohablantes and lusofalantes can understand each other better but are grouped separately.

>When a language is spoken in more than one country, Ethnologue designates one of the countries as primary, usually the country of origin of the language or the country where most of the language users are located
>The Ethnologue assigns a primary country to every language (https://www.ethnologue.com/about/language-info). This assignment is based primarily on the origin of the language. So, for English [eng], for example, the primary country is United Kingdom (https://www.ethnologue.com/language/eng), because that country represents the origin of the language. Such is the case with Spanish and Spain. Spanish originated in Spain, so Spain is selected as the primary country.
>If the origin of the language is shared by two (or more) bordering countries, then the criterion for primary country assignment is the country with the most speakers.
I hope that this is helpful.
The real question is which language is actually SPOKEN most. I mean, maybe the Chinese are silent most of the day. And other cunts speak non stop. How do we know? The proper stat should billions of man words per day, i.e. the number of speakers times the number of words they speak per day.

what the fuck was the point of your post?
>>71598423
That's one approach. Another one is the most prominent cunt or the one that feels the most superior among the speakers of the same language. So for Spanish that should be Argentina .
>>71598203
It doesn't include languages such as Bavarian [bar], Schwäbian [swg], Alemannisch [gsw], Eastern Franconian [vmf], Hessisch, Palatinian, Rheinfränkisch, Westfälisch [wep], Saxonian, Thuringian, Brandenburgisch, Low Saxon [nds] etc.

first of all, if trying to be funny, you're shit at it.
if shitpost, not even that shit of a comment.
if for real, we don't feel superior to spain, we think we're at the same level, total bros.

Even if you take all [spa] and [eng] native speakers (second and third most spoken languages by native speakers) [cmn] would still be number 1
