User:Double sharp/Major languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Living languages covered in The World's Major Languages (2018 edition). Hyphens mean they are covered together in the same chapter (well, with the standard disclaimer about a certain South Slavic language).

Latin has a chapter and so does Sanskrit, but they are not really alive.

Turkish is covered with the other Turkic languages (but they are a dialect continuum anyway), but singled out in the title. Similarly Hausa, Tamil, and Swahili are covered with their families.
