Talk:Wikimedia penetration
Latest comment: 14 years ago by GerardM in topic Our statistics
The statistics are based on "native" speaksers... while everywhere else we use people being able ro read write the language.. Because of this you get anomalies like Javanese and not Indonesian being considered ,, the fact that Swahili is not considered..
Remember that the English language Wikipedia has its relevancy because of the many people who are able to read and write the language even though it is NOT their native language.. !! GerardM 09:52, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, Erik considers the 50 most used languages and not the 50 most used native languages ... GerardM 09:55, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
