Wikipedias are initially ordered by hourly page views in recent days

Speakers: Number of speakers of a language is the estimated total of primary and secondary speakers, is in many cases a very rough estimation (based on the page on the English Wikipedia about that language)
Regions are parts of the world where the language is spoken in substantial amounts (compared to total number of speakers). Regions where a language gained presence only by a recent diaspora are generally not included.
Region codes: AF:Africa, AS:Asia, EU:Europe, NA:North America, OC:Oceania, SA:South America, W:World Wide, CL:Constructed Language

Wikipedias which contain 10 or more articles (264) are included here
Not included: aa:Afar, ho:Hiri Motu, hz:Herero, kj:Kuanyama, kr:Kanuri, mus:Muskogee
