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?
