Thanks. After I wrote I found that, and this, which it refers to, which is close to what we want for the slideshow - a list sorted by wiki prefix/country code:
http://s23.org/wikistats/wikipedias_html.php?sort=prefix_asc
It has 279 languages listed, vs 257 for the slideshow, so you just have to skip 20 along the way.
But neither have the name "Wikipedia" rendered into the local language, as the t-shirt seems to. So I still can't find a language, based on what is on the t-shirt.
The closest option I've stumbled across is to use the Azerbaijani article on Wikipedia, which lists the article names for Wikipedia in other languages:
http://az.wikipedikia.org/wiki/Vikipediya
It is slow work searching in there for languages in scripts which I don't even know how to type on my keyboard, but sort of fun :)
Who designed the t-shirt?

I'm fascinated by the Wikipedia t-shirt design, which I assume has the names of a few dozen wikipedias in the native languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-tshirt-languages.png I also was inspired by the slide show shared here earlier. The wikipedia-images.zip file made it easy in that case to figure out which language each slide was in, since they seemingly were alphabetical by the iso code for the language (I think that's what it is), except for the first one which was 'en' for english. I've included the list of codes from that slideshow below - some two-letter, some three-letter, some more. This prompts me to inquire about a nice compact file/table/database which would conveniently satisfy my many questions about each name, and could e.g. be used during the slide show to talk about each wikipedia: The country code for the language The english name for the language The name of the writing script in which it is written How to pronounce it (sound bite, ipa, etc) Link to the wikipedia Link to the entry on the stats page for the wikipedia etc. etc. I figure I can at least hope for a nice table somewhere of data on each wikipedia: country code, link etc. from which I could derive some of the rest. And a simple annotation of the t-shirt itself would be a fine place to start :) Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/ en ab ace af ak als am ang an arc ar arz as ast av ay az ba bar bat-smg bcl be be-x-old bg bh bi bm bn bo bpy br bs bxr ca cbk-zam cdo ceb ce ch chr chy ckb co crh cr csb cs cv cy da de diq dsb dv dz ee el eml eo es et eu ext fa ff fi fiu-vro fj fo fr frp frr fur fy gan ga gd glk gl gn gu gv hak ha haw he hif hi hr hsb ht hu hy ia id ie ig ik ilo io is it iu ja jbo jv kaa kab ka kg ki kk kl km kn ko krc ksh ks ku kv kw ky lad la lbe lb lg lij li lmo ln lo lt lv map-bms mdf mg mhr mi mk ml mn mr ms mt mwl myv mzn nah na nap nds-nl nds ne new nl nn no nov nrm nv ny oc om or os pag pam pa pap pcd pdc pih pi pl2 pl pms pnb pnt ps pt qu rm rmy roa-rup roa-tara ro ru rw sah sa scn sco sc sd se sg sh simple si sk sl sm sn so sq srn sr ss st stq su sv sw szl ta te tet tg th ti tk tl tn to tpi tr ts tt tum udm ug uk ur uz vec ve vi vls vo wa war wo wuu xal xh yi yo za zea zh-classical zh-min-nan zh zh-yue zu _______________________________________________ WikiX-l mailing list WikiX-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l
