Quite interesting! The Northern Americans are in majority, but it's only a
relative majority, and not that much more than the Western Europeans. And the
Non-Northern-American Non-Western-European minority is quite a strong minority
with 21%! So contrary to what this Ms. Gunn claimed, and like I had already
said, the geographical representation of the list has more to do with the
accessibility of Internet to people in different places of the world rather
than a cultural restriction of conlanging.
