Hispanic Manipulation of Wikipedia

Concern   Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:02 am GMT
Language - Native Speakers, Secondary Speakers
English - 328 M, 1800 M
Spanish (Castilian) - 329 M, 495M
Russian - 144 M, 275 M
Portuguese - 178 M, 230 M
French - 68 M, 200 M



The above data taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_language was not the original but it was again altered by the Hispanics.

Shame on Wikipedia because they ask for donation so that it cannot be altered but when the hispanics are the ones who alter it and they don't do anything about the lies of the hispanics.

The original one was like this
Chinese - 845 M, 1345 M
English - 328 M, 1800 M
Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu) - 460 M, 650 M[23]
French - 68 - 109M, 200 M
Arabic 221 M 325 M[21]
Spanish (Castilian) - 329 M, 495M
Russian - 175 M, 275 M
Portuguese - 178 M, 230 M

THE HISPANIC CHANGED IT TO MAKE SPANISH THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE WHEN IT'S NOT.

Who cares about Wikipedia. It is not a scholarly source in academics. Not everything written on the internet is true.

I noticed that to. But it was modified concerning the number of native speakers, which I do think it's correct even if it's for a small margin.

The following link is better:

Who cares!? Chinese is spoken by more than one billion people but I'll never learn it! I'm not interested in the number of speakers at all when I pick up a new language to study!

Instituto Cerveza and the hispanic fanatics in this forum are so desperate to prove that Spanish is the second most studied and international language that's why they persuaded the Jimmy Wales to lock this article so that nobody can negate the lies of the hispanics.

But when a hispanic alters a Wikipedia article which is accurate, they just remain silent.

I don't think so. I think the opposite.

First step. French fanatics write that French is spoken by 500 million as mother tongue and another billion as second language. It is also spoken in Russia, China, Australia, USA and Pluto as first foreign language.


Second step. All other people (Anglos, Hispanics, Arabics and Chinese) write that this data are a big bullshit. All of them prefer the truth:

French is really spoken by 75 million people as mother tongue and spoken by 195 million as total speakers. It is official in 28 countries, but in 26 of them is really a minority language (all but France and Monaco).

I think so. I think the same.

First step. Hispanic fanatics write that Spanish is spoken by 500 million as mother tongue and another billion as second language. It is also spoken in Russia, China, Australia, USA and Pluto as first foreign language.


Second step. All other people (Anglos, Hispanics, Arabics and Chinese) write that this data are a big bullshit. All of them prefer the truth:

Spanish is really spoken by 320 million people as mother tongue and spoken by 250 million as total speakers. It is official in 19 countries, but in 17 of them is really as standard castilian (all but Castilia, Spain and Antioquia, Colombia).
