Arthurfragoso notified me that they(he?) has opened a new move request on the Niacin article at Talk:Niacin#Requested move 15 December 2024. You might be also interested, considering that you commented on my old move request. Artoria2e5 🌉 13:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi A455bcd9, I see you've updated List of languages by number of native speakers based on the Ethnologue 2025 edition, thanks a lot for that! Could you do the same for List of languages by total number of speakers too? Krissie (talk) 08:54, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Unfortunately it's not yet available: https://www.ethnologue.com/insights/ethnologue200/ It usually takes a few weeks or months. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 08:58, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for updating the list, but could you extend it again down to 50 million speakers? I think we should aim not to set the cutoff point too high, to keep the list really useful Krissie (talk) 14:44, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Next ones are Kannada (#35, 58.7M) and Bhojpuri (#36, 52.7M). Min Nan Chinese is outside the range (#40, 45.8M). I don't know which ones are #37–39 though. Krissie (talk) 14:52, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is available is the top 20: https://www.ethnologue.com/insights/ethnologue200 Going beyond that is already behind paywall (and Ethnologue sells the whole list: https://shop.ethnologue.com/products/2025-ethnologue-200 ). Without the full list, we have to guess to recreate the top. So we have to set an arbitrary limit. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 13:42, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know a limit is needed, but I'd prefer not too set it too low. I need this data for my linguistic activities, and I'm fairly sure others will appreciate it too. So I'd suggest to include all languages with 50M+ speakers for now and to try keeping the limit there at least for the next few years. I managed to complete the list to below that limit: Sudanese Arabic/apd is #37 (52.3M), Yoruba/yor is #38 (49.9M), Jinyu Chinese/cjy is #39 (48.0M); #41–45 are Polish, Burmese, Algerian Arabic, Hakka, Lingala. I suggest adding the languages up to Yoruba, which has 50M speakers when rounded. Krissie (talk) 14:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the missing languages down to Yoruba. Could you complete the separate L1/L2 counts, as it seems you have access to the paywalled language profiles? Krissie (talk) 14:13, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you join Ethnologue's contributor program to get access: https://www.ethnologue.com/contributor-program Or ask your intuition to pay for it? a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 14:33, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's an interesting idea, but I'm just a hobbyist (toying with constructed languages) and don't have an institution which might pay; nor do I think I would have anything interesting to offer to them. Krissie (talk) 13:59, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
