When cleaning out my school papers, I uncovered a paper from several months ago which included the ratios of number of words for each language. They are based on more political/cultural population boundaries which would easily be highly controversial:

24.3%: Chinese roots (Sinosphere) 10.5%: Arabic roots (Arab World) 2.3%: Bantu roots (East African Community) 30.7%: Indo-Aryan roots (Indosphere) 32.2% European roots (Eurosphere)

I'm going to recheck my calculations, as I have tried to make the cuts clean as possible but numbers are subject to change.
