<font face="Courier New" size=2>I have made a list comparing the number of Wikipedians (according</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>to the stats) with the number of speakers per language. German has</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>most according to this statistic: 22 Wikipedians per million</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>speakers. For number of speakers, I have used the data from</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>http://www.nicemice.net/amc/tmp/lang-pop.var, using data from</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>Wikipedia for those languages not available. For number of</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>Wikipedians, I used the statistics page (which counts everyone</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>who at one time or other edited 5 or more articles). Here is the</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>list. After the language code, the number of Wikipedians per</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>million speakers, the number of Wikipedians and the number of</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>speakers in millions is given.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>Numbers between brackets: counting only first-language speakers</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>*: number of speakers from Wikipedia</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>@: number of speakers not available on Wikipedia; from elsewhere</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>=: given as several separate languages by the source, one on</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2> Wikipedia</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>!: given as one language by the source, several on Wikipedia</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2>*s: the number on Wikipedia would, if valid, have led the language</font><br>
<font face="Courier New" size=2> to be on the top-100 list. Reduced from 8 to 6 million.</font><br>
