The premise of a countable number of languages should tip off the reader that this is mostly for entertainment value; Africa appears to be entirely missing (bad data source?). I like the visualization though, in that it relates nation-states to linguistic identity. It shows a generally strong correspondence between these two variables, with some outliers, generally related to colonial history: people in India speak many languages; Spanish is spoken by people in many nations.
