The number of Esperanto speakers in the world
This is not the first time that I complain about the false information in the net, especially the wikipedia. The data in English wikipedia as at 26th of June still put this:
The Chinese wikipedia:
Now look at the local newspaper which reported in my country. It is the same as most of the people would search the web and to see how big is the population of Esperanto speakers.
The English would also include the foreign language learners in the data, therefore, it came to a large amount of it. But now, when you are reading this data : the 75% of the people in the world don't speak a word of English data would be even going to 80% of the people in the world do not speak a word of English. The infants of many third countries as well as non-native speakers of English are not speaking English but the data would put the country as a whole in it. What is wrong with the data of English uesers in the world?
If you have the right to amend the data in the wikipedia please add this para:
With the adavnaced of technology and internet learning sites, it is difficult to estimate the number of speakers of Esperanto. The online learning sites would extend the usage of Esperanto without limits especailly the social media network, the Facebook and twitter etc have rapidly extending the number of speakers of Esperanto in the world.
随着网络和科技的发达，我们无法估计究竟有多少人在使用世界语。网上学习的网站能迅速的扩大使用世界语的范围，特被是社交网站，如面子书，推特等等， 都在迅速的扩大世界语的使用。
Don't ask me why not I do it ? I have registered in the wikipedia but have no right to do the changing of the data. I only have the right of comment. I left the comment ages ago but still see no change of the data.
Estimates of Esperanto speakers range from 10,000 to 2,000,000 active or fluent speakers, as well as native speakers, that is, people who learned Esperanto from their parents as one of their native languages.
The Chinese wikipedia:
世界上估计有一万到两百万的积极活动的流利使用者。
