In my personal opinion, it should be the languages of population majorities, languages to minority groups that belong to the area (native populations). I think it will be wrong to enforce a fixed rule (languages spoken by more than 30% of local population), because in many areas native groups that traditionally have belonged to the area might have been pushed below 5% of general population, but still recognised as a regional minority.
