This is looking quite good. With a little more attention, the addition of some explanatory context, cites/refs and years for the figures and maybe a location map, this could worked into a
Featured List. I guess the FA nom for the main article should be cleared first, tho... anyways- nice work.--

speaker populations
Firstly, these all use period (.) as the thousands separator; while this is the case in many European countries, comma is the usual one in most countries where English is an official language. So for en: I think comma would be better.
I also wonder where these figures are sourced - they look like they have been taken from Ethnologue, but those tend to be somewhat inflated. At least they are comparable across many linguistic groups, I suppose.
Thanks to Nora England, the silly Ethnologue-based multiplication of dialects has now been cleaned up in ISO-693. See
her request to ISO and, for instance,
a page for one of the deleted language codes. We need to clean up this page now. It is not too easy - you have to add to all the speaker numbers and subtract from all the right rowspans. I did Chol. Here's the new list (copied and edited from ethnologue, numbers NOT valid):
Mayan (69)
Cholan-Tzeltalan (12)
Cholan (4)
Chol-Chontal (3)
Chontal, Tabasco [chf] (Mexico)
Chol [ctu] (Mexico)
Chorti (1)
Ch'orti' [caa] (Guatemala)
Tzeltalan (8)
Tzeltal, [tzh] (Mexico)
Tzotzil, [tzo] (Mexico)
Huastecan (4)
Chicomuceltec [cob] (Mexico)
Huastec [hus] (Mexico)
Kanjobalan-Chujean (8)
Chujean (3)
Chuj [cac] (Guatemala)
Tojolabal [toj] (Mexico)
Kanjobalan (5)
Kanjobal-Jacaltec (4)
Jakalteko (Popti') [jac] (Guatemala)
Q'anjob'al [kjb] (Guatemala)
Akateko [knj] (Guatemala) (NOT ISO name; official name is still the outdated “western kanjobal”)
Hey, thanks for that Homunq. Someone had gone thru a few of the affected language articles and cleaned up to the revised/rationalised codes. Haven't checked to see if all relevant articles were touched. --
