For Belgium I would like to know something different. Belgium doesn't have a primary language, but have Dutch, French, German and English. All these Wikipedia have other countries with a larger population where they speak the various languages. What would be interesting for us is to know what subjects are visited most in Belgium. This would be interesting per language, but also the languages combined (through interwiki links/Wikidata).

Is there a way to know how many people use Wikipedia per interface language?
No.
Said in other words, I want to know how many people display the Wikimedia
project interface in the different version of German and Alemannisch.
Until https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58464 is fixed (hopefully in this decade), the requests with non-default language are negligible.* What makes you think that you need such a level of precision and https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm is not enough?
Once the use case for such precise numbers is clarified, probably we can extract exact data with a method similar to https://phabricator.wikimedia. org/T65416 after it's fixed (hopefully this year; the bug has made localisation and new subdomain requests practically impossible or unfeasible in dozens languages, for many months now).

(*) Even considering the sum of requests with uselang parameter** and of registered users with a non-default language choice in preferences. (**) Even in Commons, despite all the uselang-specific incoming links and the language selection gadget.
