- kuschku 10y agoI’m sure you know yourself that number of speakers is rarely the metric used for choosing a target market, and more commonly products are launched by the potential revenue to be made (which scales with GDP per capita). Yet, most projects only target the Anglosphere, not even Europe is usually included.
