Romaine,
Building on Chico's comment, I put together an example notebook of how to
estimate such a list from the public data in case you're curious (I
calculated it for January-November for Nigeria in the example). It's not a
perfect approach in that it makes some assumptions and uses incomplete data
but probably is close to what the actual list would be (details in the
link). You'd likely want to use your knowledge of the region/languages to
filter out pages like Special:Search and bot-driven views that slipped
through into the data (like Cookie and Cleopatra in the example below).
Notebook:
You can read instructions for how to copy this notebook and run it for
other countries here:
Best,
Isaac

For some languages it is easy as a particular
language is spoken in one
country mainly. (Still there might be some local languages/dialects that
are then not represented in the data.)
For some other languages is is not easy to get the statistics of the
most visited pages of a country as the language is spoken in multiple
countries.
If for example one country only has 3% of the population in comparison
to another country with the same language, the language statistics are very
biased. The larger country consumes so much data, that the data of the
country with the smaller population is invisible. If we have no data for
them, we let those unseen communities down.

On Swedish Wikipedia we collect it on one page:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mest_visade_artiklar_2022
Doing it per language is much easier than per country, as the data is
publicly available.
Best,
