Thinking about this, en.wiki has an interesting structure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_non-English-language_terms
Maybe if you could measure the usage of these redirects by language,
you could estimate the relative population size of the wiki-using
speakers of that language who currently use en.wiki? The measurement
might be sharpened by a push to classify
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_alternative_languages
Presumably other structures exist in other wikis that could be
similarly measured.
