What I find especially interesting is not the native Asutralian languages, which have a handful of speakers only, but the fact that in India, over 99 percent of people prefer to edit in English than in their native languages. It would be interesting to see the results once native languages are included in the sample.

Is there any particular trend of us contributors becoming the minority on en:wp? That would be very interesting.

Not as yet that I know of; I'm hypothesising as to a large educated English-speaking population in India getting into writing on Wikipedia.
