from what I see it seems Hebrew has best ratio 107 active editor with 8.2 m
speaker, indeed well done.

From my knowledge of the Australian census and what I
can find on the
Australian Bureau of Statistics website, we don't have this information
about Australians either. It seems we don't know what other languages
people can speak. The only statistic available is *households* which speak
a language other than English, which greatly under-estimates the ability of
any individual to speak that language as it depends on who they are living
with and fails to tell us how well that other language is spoken by any
individual.
This issue came up for Australian Wikipedians in connection with
Indigenous languages. Despite the fact that we get asked to provide
information on Wikipedia on the number of people who speak either any
Indigenous language or a particular Indigenous language, we have no ability
to answer that question except for whole households. And since (depending
on how you define "language") there were 250+ Indigenous languages (with
even more sub-dialects), even a household entirely composed of Indigenous
people may not have a common Indigenous language to speak at home.

Always nice to see language data presented in an appealing way!

Do we have data on "# of speakers of
language X who don't speak a
better-covered lang as a secondary language"?
I usually have a very hard time finding such data from official/reliable
sources, even for EU languages. (I usually search for CLDR purposes.)
