Not all languages are sorted, only those for which there are released data in CLDR. And languages frequently belong to several countries/territories at the same time, with different official or recognized status (itself independant of the number of actual speakers, which is very frequently roughly estimated). Some countries are giving official statistics about their national or regional languages, but frequently these stats are old, or underestimated or overestimated for political reasons, or some languages are mixed as if they were only one, or simply discarded if it is considered locally as a secondary language, even if the official language is superficially understood but taken as a primary one. Statistics are also forgetting native speakers living abroad in a diaspora, or secondary learners of a language taught in foreign countries.
