Summary
Contains the complete, raw linguistic data used to create the "Ethnologue." Each numbered edition has a corresponding "Ethnologue" edition. The data files are in the standard tab-delimited or CSV formats, which can be loaded into virtually any spreadsheet, database, or other data analysis tool. Note that this dataset does not include commentary, but rather, data fields with simple values that can be submitted to statistical analysis. Includes three files: Language Data (ISO codes, language families, statuses, country counts, centroid points, and more); Country Data (language counts, literacy rates, populations, diversity indexes, and more); and Language-in-Country Data (listings of data specific to a particular language within a particular country where it is used). The GIS data files are in compressed shapefile format. The documentation for each edition is in the PDF file.
