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.
