2026-10-11, Lilleman auf Larv. Serves goal 2.1. [The Ethnologue
200](https://www.ethnologue.com/insights/ethnologue200/) for 2026 ranks languages by first-
and second-language speakers together: English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Standard
Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian and Urdu. Russian is eleventh. Each ships in
the country holding most of its speakers: `en_US`, `zh_CN`, `hi_IN`, `es_MX`, `ar_EG`,
`fr_FR`, `bn_BD`, `pt_BR`, `id_ID` and `ur_PK`. The Nordic countries are `sv_SE`, `nb_NO`,
`da_DK`, `fi_FI` and `is_IS`. Before either ships, `todo.md` item 209 confirms Egypt and
`todo.md` item 214 Pakistan from Ethnologue's country pages. Valid until Ethnologue's
ranking changes its ten.

most speakers of it: `en_US`, `zh_CN`, `hi_IN`, `es_MX`, `ar_EG`, `fr_FR`, `bn_BD`, `pt_BR`,
`id_ID` and `ur_PK`. The Nordic countries are `sv_SE`, `nb_NO`, `da_DK`, `fi_FI` and
`is_IS`. Each locale carries goal 2.2's categories, and its `address` reads its country's
`geo/` tree by reference. Egypt and Pakistan are not yet confirmed: `todo.md` item 209 and
`todo.md` item 214 check each against Ethnologue's country pages before it ships, and record
the result here. Valid until Ethnologue's ranking changes its ten.
