I tried some queries, and they all timed out :(

I'm not very good at SPARQL.

But I agree with Andy: Dividing hundreds of thousands of items into small
groups that can be processed by people who are likely to know something
relevant about those items, is probably a better way to try to handle it
than just looking at a huge pile of items.

Some ways to divide them that I can think of immediately:
1. Having a sitelink to particular languages.
2. Having a label or a description in a particular languages.
3. Having certain characteristics in the label, like length, or presence of
certain characters (even a mostly arbitrary characteristic, like "label
starts with the letters 'Mi' " or "has digits in label", is better than
nothing).

If someone can make a bunch of queries that do something like this and
actually work (and don't time out), this can be a nice beginning.
