>Moreover, I would be more confident about the truth of this if
I just knew what scripts are used by the 21 languages in my
"Unknown" category. If someone could help categorizing them, I
could at least do the sums, to discover who wins betwen Latin
and CJK.
I really wish that years ago the Ethnologue editors had
requested contributors to provide information about writing
systems used. At present, relatively few of the 6800+ entries
indicate what script(s) are used for those languages that are
written. I'll do what I can to promote the addition of such
information in future editions, though the only real obstacle
is gathering the information, and that just takes time.
