There's nothing unexpected about this, of course, due merely to the way
that human languages work.  Anyway, that figure of 253 wikis is hardly
useful.  I wouldn't call the top 5 wikis "merely" 2%.  I'd bet that at
least a third of the world's population can speak at least one of the
top 5 wikis' languages.
