Dear Kai,
Thanks for raising this up.
I would also like to find out if there are, at least, rough estimates on the distribution of language speakers across countries as it would be helpful to calibrate my model on the inivisible tax of free knowledge.
I am aware that it should be very difficult to find such data or develop a proper approach, but I am curious to learn more from more knowledgeable people in this area.
Best regards, Kiril Simeonovski

Dear all,
I am currently undertaking a research project that explores the choice of language when reading Wikipedia across different countries. One of the tasks of my study involves mapping Wikipedia languages to the countries where these languages are predominantly spoken. I recognize the complexity of this task and understand that a perfect mapping might not be possible. However, I would appreciate any recommendations on the best methodologies, practices, or data sources for accomplishing this.
Additionally, I have a related question: What are good data sources for information regarding the proportion of a country's population that speaks various languages?
Thank you for your help and insights.
