A bit offtopic, but it's worth mentioning that that is exactly what it 
says it is - a list of "oficial languages", not what language is 
actually spoken in a place.  OSM's "on the ground rule" favours the 
latter over the former.  The entry in that table isn't quite correct for 
the country that I am most familiar with (the UK - it suggests that the 
recognition of minority languages in NI is similar to e.g. Cornwall, 
which ignores some of the terms of the Good Friday Agreement), so I'd 
take it with a pinch of salt elsewhere too.

Best Regards,

Andy
