Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/"Common languages"/reply (2)

Thanks for the explanation. I get the same list with Firefox and Chrome, so I guess it is due to the CLDR. The list mostly consists of regional French languages. It may sound fine but most of them are more or less kept alive for fun and folklore, and very few people use it as their primary language. A list of languages actually spoken in France would be rather different. I could not find many relevant statistics, but here is the list of languages people use to talk to their kids :
 * French (96%)
 * Arabic (2%)
 * Portuguese (1%)
 * Alsatian (a kind of "Alemanisch") (0.6%)
 * Turk (0.4%)
