Hi, I am Nkem Osuigwe, a Nigerian.
You may want to speak with Olusola Olaniyan, the President, Wikimedia User Group. He is doing a project on preservation of indigenous languages and this is important in Nigeria where we have close to 500 spoken languages and quite a number on Wikipedia. I have copied Olusola to this mail.
Thank you.

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.
