If you want to present the data in a beautiful way, this isn’t the way. Maybe you can sort them by something else? A network diagram on „familiarities between Indian languages spoken by at least [whatever the numerical value of 0,1% of Indians is]“ and showcase them and all their intricacies that way. But this is just a list that is made very long by the way it’s presented.

I applaud your enthusiasm for the diversity of language, though! Great to see!

TIL there is a Bhojpuri language with 50M speakers.

A large number of them look insignificant at 0.001-0.01%, but that's still like 10-100k people. The Australian census lists 500 languages including over 200 Aboriginal languages, some of them with number of speakers in one or two digits.

Ahh okay, then I understand why you did it. But still maybe it would be better to say that there are many more languages or put an number to the "others" line because I don't think many people will read all the names anyway. Maybe a headline which states the diversity of the Indian people directly on the dataset would be helpful to add to the point you are trying to make. Thing I am trying to say is that there are better ways of getting your point across then having a mile long dataset which many people just glance over. Compact info with focus on the point you want to get across is way more attention receiving.

But like the first comment these are just my two cents to it.

Below the title on the graphic is the reasining:

" incl. all Olympic formats or high probability to be {Rugby League and T20 Cricket} ] "

But I confess that in this regard I also weighed taking only the main formats and leaving out 3x3 basketball + beach volleyball.

I could imagine to combine field hockey + ice hockey under hockey (so to say as two formats of the sport hockey).

Regarding tennis, there are only team sports in this chart and no individual sports, even if they have team competitions there, its not considered as a team sport.

For the definition of team sports I refer to wikipedia:
