This page gives the sources for each language on <a href="numbers.shtml">the Numbers from 1 to 10 page</a>. Sometimes half the work in dealing with a new language is finding out what it is, so there is also information here about finding the languages in Ruhlen (R), Voegelin and Voegelin (V), the Ethnologue (Eth), and Campbell (L).
<p>The three-letter code points to the Ethnologue, 14th edition. The link will allow you to find more recent editions.
