Wiki in obscure languages

almost 300 in all!

I find it odd that the largest Native American one, Navajo, has only about 2500 articles.

I'm disappointed that there aren't articles in Dakota/Lakota or Ojibwe/Anishnabe.

The most articles for any New World native language is Quechua (19,600)

A friend in Michigan is learning it. And she's created at least one Wiki entry for a mutual friend of ours.
