Hello Finn,
I do not have a specific answer to your question. However, it might be
worthwhile to add Finnish in to the comparison as according to the CLDR 26
T-L information
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/26/supplemental/territory_language_information.html
You have some sizable Finnish language speakers in Sweden:
Swedish {O} sv 95.0% 99.0%
Finnish {OR} fi 2.2%
So if the similar query is executed on Finnish language, and the
results also show some "undue" proportion of visits from Sweden, then what
you observed as anomaly is the that unique. We probably need many
iterations of comparative outcomes and normalization of data (Sweden does
have higher population). Also, it might be handy to have some statistics
on immigration or residence, it is EU. I will not be surprised that for
example the visits from Oxford to Wikipedia website have sizable German
language requests.
I am still a bit bothered by the number "1" in the current dataset. It
does not feel right since the numbers of 1.4% and 0.6% is a notable
difference in this regard. Perhaps we need some high precision "universal
percentage" number for each territory-language pair. It would be also great
to do another set of aggregation: i.e. given a territory, which language
versions of Wikipedia are accessed....
Best,
han-teng liao
