    I thought you might find my recent monograph of interest:

         Linguistic Cultures of the World: A Statistical Reference (Greenwood
    Press)

    The book gives over 150,000 stats covering 500+ language groups worldwide
    (demographics,
    economics, geography, etc.). I would be glad to send to you an EXCEL
    spreadsheet of the
    raw data (or to any researcher who may find it of interest). Otherwise, the
    link below
    to Amazon gives more qualitative details; the book, however, is largely
    covered in the
    spreadsheet which is complementary to researchers/scholars.
