Again, I'm not sure this type of statistic will be helpful either. Here's why: like in the incunabula Latin and the dominant vernaculars will undoubtedly make up the most of such a chart.
French Dutch, Portuguese, Czech or Hebrew are not what I would call "unexpected".
What I wanted to suggest in my post, and I think this is in line with the title of this thread, is to try and look at the liminal, marginal, overlooked niche dialects.
These just don't represent a statistically significant portion of written books. Some were almost never written (especially the pidgins). That is what makes them truly unexpected.
