Comment on A combination of languages to briefly cover the most of other languages.

That’s, while a noble idea, unfortunately impossible.
There’s simply too many languages. In india alone there is a ton of native languages, which have like maybe a thousand speakers each. Like, every village has their language, which often differs quite strongly from neighbouring villages. Same is true in many places in africa.
You kind of have to restrict yourself to certain languages which you actually intend to use. Otherwise it’s just unmanageable.
