Wikipedians by language

Here is an overview of the number of Wikipedians per language, compared to the total number of speakers. The number of speakers is taken from http://www.nicemice.net/amc/tmp/lang-pop.var, or from Wikipedia where that source does not provide a number.

The columns give Wikipedians per million speakers, Wikipedians and speakers in millions; the number of Wikipedians is as of September 1, 2004. Furthermore, languages with less than 100,000 speakers have been taken apart in a second table.

• *: number of speakers taken from Wikipedia
• *s: idem, reduced to 6 million because with more it would have been on the list
• @: number of speakers taken from elsewhere
