For some languages it is easy as a particular language is spoken in one
country mainly. (Still there might be some local languages/dialects that
are then not represented in the data.)

For some other languages is is not easy to get the statistics of the most
visited pages of a country as the language is spoken in multiple countries.

If for example one country only has 3% of the population in comparison to
another country with the same language, the language statistics are very
biased. The larger country consumes so much data, that the data of the
country with the smaller population is invisible. If we have no data for
them, we let those unseen communities down.
