...that Faeroese is considered the language with the largest number of published books per year per native speaker?

(Or so says the article in the German Wikipedia.)

That is, the way it is now makes it sound like it has more books a year than any other language, AS WELL AS more books per native speaker. Faroese, having more books than any other language... hah.

It does?

Maybe I'm influenced by German again.

*googles*

Hm... looks like it; for example, "pro Jahr und Kopf" has quite a few more hits than "pro Jahr pro Kopf", while English has more for "per year per capita" and "per year per person" than for "per year and person".

I'll change it.
