I could not find a good datasource that had a comprehensive list of languages sorted by the number of native speakers, so I wrote this script to scrape this data from Wikipedia pages and insert it into a SQLite database.
This dataset includes language families as well as languages. To filter by languages only, query for rows where language_family is not null.
I have included the top 200 languages by native speakers as a markdown table in the file top_languages.md and have pasted it below. I have also included the SQLite datbase in the repo with data from the most recent run of the script.
