Aus einem Pegasus Beitrag die reddit Verlinkung,
ich quote einfach mal den Post:
Die künstliche Orksprache ist auch noch nicht erfasst, da erst spät eingeführt und ab da gelehrt.
2060 war die Verbreitung deshalb eher minimal, 2070+ vielleicht mehr

So that's what I came up with, Shadows of Latin America included. Note this represents only 4.5 billion people, 88 countries with numbers from the 2060s:
27% English
14% Chinese/Mandarin
13% Hindi
11% Spanish
5% Japanese
5% Portuguese
5% Russian
4% Urdu
3% Cantonese
3% Korean
3% Punjabi
2% Arabic
2% Filipino
2% French
2% German
2% Thai
2% Turkic languages
2% Vietnamese
1% Burmese
1% Farsi
1% Italian
1% Kurdish
1% Nahuatl
1% Polish
1% Sindi
As suspected most of the Native American languages didn't make the cut (below .5%).
Nahuatl did make it, because of Aztlan's population size. Sperethiel has less speakers than Hebrew.
Japanese is a bit stronger, consistent with an increased Japanese presence in the world.
Apart from the problem of missing countries I don't think the quality of the data is really good.
For example it appears first and second languages are sometimes mixed up. Whereas the chart you linked to focuses on native speakers.
Anyway I think the approximation shows that the Shadowrun authors mostly worked with the existing numbers.

Cool list! Conspicuous by its absence is Orzet.
...
Actually no, the academic work that made Or'zet available to the public was published in 2060.
Even though they started teaching it back then, the number of speakers would be far too low
to show up in these statistics from a few years later, if it was even considered.
Now in the 2070s we might have the first ork children who are native Or'zet speakers.
