You see EUROPEAN COUNTRIES do not share the same language - they have many different ones.


CHINA shares PUTONGHUA and CANTONESE as 'lingua francas' between most if not all of its 'countries'/prefectures. It is a bit bigger than EUROPE - as far as I can remember.

So one shouldn't worry about not getting the CHINESE 'number' - how many people have realistically 'got' the EUROPEAN 'number'?
