There are a number of different ways to calculate how many people speak a language and it would be preferable to have that and the source/s explicated.
Also, it's a little sleazy to put the French button in the middle of the Democratic Republic of Congo, but ok.

According to Wikipedia, 200 persons have French as a native language and 300 more as a second language. 65 M is hardly the population of France, it can't be right.

Thats a fair comment - I should be using data on total number of speakers with the map as it is colored now. Perhaps I'll get to it within a few days.
