Wikipedia: access to languages by country

[pne]

Wikimedia stats: pages views per country

Interesting statistics about which language versions of Wikipedia are accessed in various countries.

Unsurprisingly, the official language of the various countries tends to do well (if there is just one); also fairly unsurprisingly (since it's probably the most complete), the English version tends to do well, often better than the country's own-language version.

I found it interesting that Polish appears in the stats of a few countries such as Ireland and Jersey.

And I'm guessing that the accesses to German Wikipedia from Afghanistan are probably from German soldiers stationed there rather than from permanent inhabitants.

"Tends" is about right. I wouldn't have found out about the Cid's embalmed body being buried after his nose fell off if I'd had to rely on the English version - there wasn't an equivalent entry in English.
