No offense, but this is a horrible map and it is just as bad as the first time it was posted today: US + Canada (why are they grouped in with these cherry picked European countries?) and a dozen European countries on top of giving no context of the person's proficiency in the language, the whole thing just doesn't really make a lot of sense, if you wanted to do a map of the US Canada and Europe do something remotely coherent like a map of leaders of NATO countries, feels like this is just made by a North American who just picked random European countries they thought would be interesting.
This always amazes me. Given the fact that these people are being chosen among thousands and trusted for representing their country internationally, I am overwhelmed by how many of them cannot even speak more than their native language and some English.

That's because the leaders of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belarus, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, etc don't speak any languages
Glad it wasn't just me that thought this was dog shit, especially for a community called "map enthusiasts"
I'm just glad they didn't include Ireland with a butcher's apron
Poor Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden not even speaking their countries' languages :(
(One of the first things I learned when I joined the Localization industry was to never use a flag to represent a language!)
Trying to imagine Biden saying "Pip pip, cheerio!"
Damn Pope, Chill out.
