Here is the table with all missing languages with more than 1M of
speakers. See notes about usage (especially in the case of Arabic
languages), as well as my reply to Denny about importance of native
languages in primary education. Note also that we have a number of
incubator projects in Arabic languages.
If any of you find some factual problem, please let me know.
It is likely that I'll put the complete list at Meta in the future.
