Country Languages in a Cell

Geography1 credit/cellSheets · Excel
=VERVE("countrylanguages", A2)

Look up a country's languages by the row. =VERVE("countrylanguages", A2) lists official and spoken languages down a column — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 300+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE()function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

Country Languages in a Cell, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Country Languages in a Cell into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("countrylanguages", A2) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Country Languages in a Cell cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Country Languages in a Cell at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("countrylanguages", A2) down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Country Languages in a Cell work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
Country Languages in a Cell is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Country Languages in a Cell is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Country Languages in a Cell in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
