How Globally Represented Is The SDMB?

Might also be that English is not the lingua franca in those regions that it is elsewhere. IIRC, when people in Eastern Europe know an “international” language, it’s more likely to be German.

I can name several Aussie Dopers, and I’m reasonably certain of at least 1 Indian one (what? I don’t look at location or even names all that much!) but not a single Dominican Republican*

I believe Martha is in the Dominican Republic, and she’s actually not the only Doper who lives there.

I know that French used to be the most popular international language taught in Romania, but I believe it’s been replaced with English. If Germany used to be the most commonly taught international language in Eastern Europe, it must have been some time ago.

I made this map recently (for the MMP). If anyone else would like in, just let me know.

What happened to the east? You could at least light up Tokyo, and you can count me in for Aomori!

You can add me in Salt Lake City, Utah.
