[Foundation-l] A simple question on languages.

65,000 is indeed only slightly more doable. It's still totally
ridiculous, though, considering I can go to the old stats from
Ethnologue and figure out how many languages have over 65,000
speakers. If I recall correctly the number for over 1 million speakers
alone is 200, so I'm guessing it would be in the thousands.
