What's most interesting to me about Japanese is that if you look at the Wikipedia page for most spoken languages [0], all of the top 15 show more than 10 million people who speak the language as a second language, except Japanese, there only 0.1 million (100k) is shown.
This means that either there is no good way to track this, or barely anybody gets to a level in Japanese where they would end up in the statistics.
