Arabic language impact in Europe?….Food for thought.

You should've mentioned both India & Pakistan with Punjabi. Because majority of Punjabi speakers are in Pakistan . App 70 to 80 million in Pakistan and 35 to 40 million in India. In real, punjabi in Pakistan is dying, because it's not even recognized as the the Punjab province's official language. App. 44% people speak Punjabi as their native language and 70% can speak and understand it. But still it's not the official language of Pakistan. Instead they recognized urdu as their official language . Which is the language of Lucknow. Punjabi isn't even taught in school in Pakistan. The future of punjabi in Pakistan is dark.

Arabic is counted twice--all versions, then each version by region. Love to see breakdowns in English, too. American, British, Australian, New Zealander, Indian, etc.

The reason for the breakdown of Arabic is because each dialect is very different from each other. The source I used "Ethnologue" counts each as it's own language, im not sure there's reliable data on the spread of different types of English as most countries speak the same form just with different accents.
