Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Niger–Congo languages — The claim that Niger–Congo is 'the world's largest language family in terms of member languages' is inaccurate; Austronesian has more member languages.

Niger–Congo languages — The claim that Niger–Congo is 'the third-largest in terms of speakers' is misleading; it is typically ranked second after Indo-European.

Odia language — The claim that Odia is spoken natively by 82% of the population of Odisha is not supported by widely-known census data; the 2011 Census of India reports Odia as the mother tongue of about 83% of the population, so the figure of 82% is a factual inaccuracy.

Russian language — Russian is not the seventh-most spoken language by native speakers; it is typically ranked eighth.

Russian language — Russian is not the eleventh-most spoken language by total speakers; it is usually ranked eighth or ninth.
