Talk:List of languages by number of native speakers


Numbers Mashreqi Arabic/Eastern Arabic native speakers?

I have ben thinking about lately, and I am not speaking here about the number of speakers of Modern Standard Arabic, that indeed, the eastern Arabic languages/dialects are mutually intelligible. I see people from Egypt conversing with people from Syria without having any problem. Also, the Peninsular Arabic dialects ara intelligible with the languages in the eastern branch of the spoken Arabic language. Therefore, I disagree with this map: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/btwej0/part_two_languages_that_are_secretly_different/ I do believe that Sudanese and Egyptian Arabic should be added to the Mashreqi Arabic language, since their speakers do not need to switch into Modern Standard Arabic, nor they need to necessarily have been previously exposed to the variety they are listening to. That is, a Sudanese speaker does not have any major problem understanding an iraqi speaker and viceversa. I am of course open to read about other people´s opinions, since the Arabic Dilectology is a topic that interests me a lot.

So, the number of native speakers of mashreqi Arabic would be 282 million, or 300 according to this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashriqi_Arabic, making it the fifth most spoken native language in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.241.34.248 (talk) 09:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Group of Languages as the Most Natively Spoken Language?

Mandarin Chinese in this article refers to a group of languages spoken in Northwestern China. But this list should have individual languages, not a group of languages as the most natively spoken language. If Mandarin can be here, why can't Chinese be the most spoken native language? Because we would argue Chinese is not a single language. But of the same logic, Mandarin Chinese is not a single language as well, so why is that?

Punjabi

Why are West Punjabi and East Punjabi written separately? It's a united, mutually intelligible language with two scripts, so it should be just Punjabi. HHislegend (talk) 04:14, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
