The fact/statistic this week on the applicant pool is mother tongue indicated on the application. Many applicants did note two or three languages as native or noted varied versions of a similar base language (Mandarin/Cantonese for example) and I cleaned up the list to try to keep it to a single base language so it might appear slightly different than what you remember entering.
The point is, there are a lot of different mother tongues represented within the applicant pool! 94 in the count below.
