Do migrants from Pakistan speak Hindi ?
I do not think so. They'd rather use Urdu (sharing a common lineage with Hindi) or Punjabi (the most spoken language in Pakistan). Sroulik 03:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Links are not the most effective
The link to "There are currently fourteen defined language families in Peruvian territory, in addition to many more isolated and unclassified languages, such as Urarina.[3]" isn't a reliable reference. The reference links you to a website that sells books.

Most links/references do not work. Could have to do with the fact that they are PItalic texteruvian websites.

The article states "In addition to Spanish, Quechua and Aymara, there are many Amazonian languages such as Urarina,[2] Aguaruna and Peruvian Sign Language.", this needs to be edited because Peruvian Sign Language isn't only spoken in the Amazon. According to the PSL citation link, it is mostly spoken in Lima, the capital of Peru.

The graph on this article doesn't have a citation and also groups "unanswered" and "Deaf" together, they should be completely separate. This reference is underrepresented since the Deaf population has a language of their own.

It would be helpful if the sentence "A considerable number of languages were once spoken on the northern coast and in the northern Andes, but other than some in the northern highlands (Cajamarca, Inkawasi-Cañaris and Chachapoyas), all others have died out - Mochica is thought to have gone extinct in the 1950s." was cited and elaborated more on how or why "all others have died out".
