Appendix A: Languages Now Spoken by Over a Million Native Speakers This compilation 1 was initially developed under contract with the U.S. Office of Education by the staff of the Languages of the World File, at George Washington University. It is now being further developed at Indiana University. Language census figures vary in reliability. In sifting contradictory sources, the researchers gave more weight to official Government figures than to incidental estimates made by linguists. Estimated totals have been projected to January 1961 and are rounded off to the nearest million, or to the nearest 5 million for languages having over 50 million speakers. 1 The compilation lists the languages by the names used for them in the countries in which they are natively spoken. Provinces are added in parentheses, where apposite. Where two countries are listed for one language, the country containing the larger number of native speakers appears first. 1 C. F.
