Speaker count band groups languages by roughly how many people speak them. Wikipedia notes Spanish has "519 million native speakers... and about 636 million speakers total," numbers that place it among only a handful of languages spoken by hundreds of millions. This dimension lets a visitor compare languages of roughly the same reach.
