Collect database with most used langauges

[vitonsky]

Let's collect database of most used languages in machine readable format with next structure

• ISO language code
• total speakers count
• native speakers count

Later we could use this database to prioritize search for volunteers to maintain a locale files. Or to automate maintaining with LLM.

Current goal is to find a source of information about languages usage. We need list with at least 200 languages.
Information about methodology of data extraction is mandatory. Otherwise this data would be useless, since may be randomly generated.

Some links (mostly useless garbage sites with pay walls and no info about methodology)

• https://www.ethnologue.com/insights/ethnologue200/
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers
• https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rajkumarpandey02/list-of-languages-by-total-number-of-speakers
