Glancing over all these ethnologue entries, I notice
that most people's languages have over 100,000
speakers.  Some have millions of speakers.  I
know that Tokana and Tepa have (or had) fewer than 30,000
speakers apiece (in the case of Tepa probably
far fewer).  Are there any other conlangs on
the list with very small (fictional) speaker bases?

Tunu has approximately 2,000 speakers-- the Juni cannibals
of the Nola-Nola archipelago off the eastern coast of
papua.
tunu means "language", juni "people" and nola-nola means
"group of islands". another sudden, unbridled burst of
imagination of mine. all this is a micro(wave) nation-- of course.
