Talk:List of the most spoken native languages
I strongly disagree with the renaming of this page. The whole point of splitting the table into its own page was to keep the 1% table of languages by country distinct from the List of languages by total speakers. Now that this page has been renamed, we're going to have two pages with similar names, and that is just going to confuse people. --Arcadian 19:34, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree in what you've made (spliting), this was by far the most important part of that article, where one can get a lot of info! I think it should be putted back in the article. -Pedro 20:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- Or at least this one should be the one that links to the language articles in the ranking link. -Pedro 18:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
A serious flaw in this page is that it should list only countries where the language is spoken natively. If one is interested in 2nd or non native speakers, they can refer to List of languages by total speakers. --Zereshk 9 July 2005 12:52 (UTC)
Chart request
[edit]Would someone skilled in m:EasyTimeline be willing to make a chart of these? – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 13:45, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
Delete page?
[edit]Somewhat more up to date (15th edition) Ethnologue figures are available at List of languages by number of native speakers. True, 'language' is defined differently than here, but a summary of this list is kept at List of languages by total native speakers (which should probably be renamed).
Is there any reason that this article should be kept? Any unique info can be added to one of the articles above. kwami 04:54, 2005 August 25 (UTC)
