Looking more closely, it appears that the "speakers per article" listing is unfortunately a few years out of date, as the column of "Speakers" was being manually updated from Ethnologue stats (which are now paywalled). I've started a tangential discussion on the talkpage there, about using Wikidata instead. Additionally, none of those links contain the "primary / secondary language" statistics, for which I think we'd need to cross-reference with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1394450) Or perhaps Wikidata can resolve it again, as at least some languages' items include a split of the statistics for that, e.g. Q150. Let's discuss further onwiki? And +1 to the overall recommendation from C. Scott. :) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
