Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 16

An article is automatically added to this tracking category when the article includes e16 or ethnologue16 or when its infobox language includes e16.

Most should be updated to a reference to a later Ethnologue population figure or to another reference.

There are a couple reasons why an old ref may be desired: In the case of several Indian languages, E17 conflates a large fraction of speakers with Hindi. An undated population figure or extinction may have been copied over since E16 (but not E15), and the out-of-date citation will provide some indication of how dated the figure is, or a date for the last speakers may be given. In several cases, there are errors in the E17 entry, such as a 1983 citation being attributed to "SIL 2011" in a language which may be extinct, or a missing or corrupted date.

The articles in this category were checked against the new 18th edition of Ethnologue on 2005-2-27.

Note: 70 pages which do not occur in this category transclude the template e16. They should be double checked as well.
