Languages by percentage of population 
thought this was interesting enough to use as a
comparison to how wikipedia is spread around. 
We all know the figures there-- Eng-150k articles,
etc...
(Rough figures:)

1  Mandarin Chinese   15.0% 
2  English                       5.5%
3  Spanish                      5.0%
4  Arabic                         3.3%
5  Hindi                           3.2%
6  Bengali                       3.0%
7  Russian                      2.8%
8  Portuguese                2.5%
9  Japanese                   2.0%
10 German                     1.6% 
11 Javanese                  1.25%
12 Korean                      1.25%
