They don't need to learn these "big" languages, they already speak
them. The people learn other languages not because they want access to
Wikipedia, but because they want to communicate to more other people.
They would learn these languages also if no internet and no Wikipedia
existed, they did learn English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Tok
Pisin, what have you, long before Wikipedia.
