Hoi,
As I have to spell it out for you:
- Wolof: 3,612,560 people
Cost benefit analysis suggests that removing it and replacing it with
something more widely spoken works out better in the long run.
- Swahili: 772,642 first language 30,000,000
second language users
Which would put it about level with Polish. How much polish content
did we directly fund?
None, but did Polish need it? I think you can't compare the situation
of a language in Africa with that of a language in Europe. The
question is, what would be the added value. Asking what we did with
other languages that did not need it sounds ridiculous to me, sorry
(at least your other arguments make *some* sense... ).
- Xhosa:
7,214,118 people
English coverage is pretty good there.
- Zulu: 7,214,118 first language 15,700,000
second language users
Most of whom speak English or Afrikaans
