To find the percentage of the world's population that does not speak either Chinese or German, we need to add up the percentages of all the other languages and subtract that from 100% (total population). 
100% - 1.1% - 1.1% - 3.7% - 4.9% - 5.2% - 5.8% - 5.9% - 5.9% - 8.3% - 10.7% =  81.1% 
Therefore, the answer is B.
