I'm not sure of an icon that would mean "articles" *blindingly obviously*,
I would do this: en/fr/de/etc represented by n.articles/10000 icons of books. So, a Wikipedia with 100000 articles would be represented by 10 books. In case too large and too small values create problems, you can use a logarithmic scale.
Another idea is to use a graph: Axis x will represent language families and axis y will represent the number of articles. The points on the graph will represent individual languages, within their language family. So, Asian languages would be, for example, first because A is the first letter of the alphabet. Then we would have Germanic and Romance languages etc. Perhaps I should draw a picture to show you what I mean, exactly, but I don't have the time.
