Re: What is your mother tongue - native language?
I did not combine languages into categories because of political issues. Someone might not appreciate their language being grouped with another one, despite linguisitic similarity or regional closeness. Also just putting up something like Hindi and Indic languages is not as good as listing all the Indian languages. But in what order? By number of speakers seems fair. I've thought about this issue a lot and I'm still fine tuning my methodology of this, just like ICANN.
