Printing

Hey, guys, there's a link above, at the end of the intro text, leading to a 2000px version of the chart, you can even enlarge it on your screen and that shows that it could be printed in A2, probably in even A1 format or larger very well. If I enlarge it, it is wider than my 24" screen and the bottom section is still very sharp.

So the "only" problem is that a chart meant to allow us to easily compare the data doesn't allow us to easily compare the data?
Regards Dan

Indeed. The task is probably impossible (and futile) bearing in mind, for example, this little bar chart of Native American languages alone !

If that's your problem with what I've written, then devise a better chart expressing the same amount of information yourself, then bear the consequences ...
By the way, nobody said that expressing so much and such information on a single chart is meant to allow you to easily compare the data. Statistics is obviously a very hazy field for you.
