* Germany has a population of approximately 83.2 million people.
* Around 75-80% of the population speaks German as their first language. This means about 62.4 million to 66.6 million people in Germany speak German as their native language.
It's important to note that these numbers are estimates. The exact figures can vary slightly depending on the source and how "first language" is defined (for example, whether it includes people who learned German as children but have another language as their native tongue).
