Languages by Country

A country-language mapping dataset designed for phrase tools, multilingual resources, and educational travel content.

Updated 24 Mar 2026 Version 1.1 JSON CC0-1.0

Overview

Language support becomes more useful when it is structured at the country level and written for practical scenarios. This dataset helps support traveler tools, educational pages, and multilingual user interfaces.
