Suggestion

[edit]

This is looking quite good. With a little more attention, the addition of some explanatory context, cites/refs and years for the figures and maybe a location map, this could worked into a Featured List. I guess the FA nom for the main article should be cleared first, tho... anyways- nice work.--cjllw | TALK 23:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

speaker populations

[edit]

Firstly, these all use period (.) as the thousands separator; while this is the case in many European countries, comma is the usual one in most countries where English is an official language. So for en: I think comma would be better.

I also wonder where these figures are sourced - they look like they have been taken from Ethnologue, but those tend to be somewhat inflated. At least they are comparable across many linguistic groups, I suppose.

Major cleanup needed

[edit]

Thanks to Nora England, the silly Ethnologue-based multiplication of dialects has now been cleaned up in ISO-693. See her request to ISO and, for instance, a page for one of the deleted language codes. We need to clean up this page now. It is not too easy - you have to add to all the speaker numbers and subtract from all the right rowspans. I did Chol. Here's the new list (copied and edited from ethnologue, numbers NOT valid):

done. Homunq (talk) 09:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, thanks for that Homunq. Someone had gone thru a few of the affected language articles and cleaned up to the revised/rationalised codes. Haven't checked to see if all relevant articles were touched. --cjllw ʘ TALK 07:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bold

[edit]

Why are some subgroups written in bold and others not? I can't see any explanation of this in the article. Haakon K (talk) 05:50, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
