<P> The following table contains the top 100 languages by estimated number of native speakers in the 2007 edition of Nationalencyklopedin . As census methods in different countries vary to a considerable extent, and given that some countries do not record language in their censuses, any list of languages by native speakers, or total speakers, is effectively based on estimates . Updated estimates from 2010 are also provided . </P> <P> The top eleven languages have additional figures from the 2010 edition of the Nationalencyklopedin .
