I'm thrilled to have discovered such an amazing website. I would like to suggest adding the Teochew dialect (a branch of Southern Min/Hokkien language) to the language options list.

Sorry, the Teochew dialect cannot be added to Tatoeba as it does not have an ISO 639-3 language identifier. But feel free to add your sentences to our Southern Min/Min Nan Chinese [nan] corpus.

As Ibdx said, unfortunately we cannot add it as we have the strict rule of following the ISO 639-3 standard.

Note that this standard is evolving slowly as people are requesting the addition of new languages, so it could be that Teochew is added at some point, but that would be years in the future, if it ever happen.

In the past there have been several requests made to split Min Nan Chinese into different languages, mostly rejected: https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_c...t_cd_value=nan

The latest request tried to include Teochew ("Tio-Sua"), but it was rejected: https://iso639-3.sil.org/request/2021-045

Can you do recordings of my sentences?

You can do it yourself. Here's a short guide:

@CK will help you if you need assistance. But, btw, I see that you added sentences in about 60 languages. I don't suppose that you know how to pronounce them all, right?

I can do the Dutch and Esperanto sentences for you if they don't come from copyrighted sources.

Just for funsies, I ran a script to list the languages that are least well represented on Tatoeba, compared to the estimated speaker population sizes of those languages. (Specifically, the languages were restricted to those with >= 1mil speakers sorted by the quotient of the number of sentences on Tatoeba to the speaker population size.)

As you might expect, many of the worst-represented languages by this metric are various different variants of Chinese. Aside from those, the top 10 worst-represented languages are:

1. Sindhi (snd, 6 sentences vs. ~38.4mil speakers)
2. Sesotho (sot, 2 sentences vs. ~6.4mil speakers)
3. Maithili (mai, 8 sentences vs. ~19.3mil speakers)
4. Madurese (mad, 8 sentences vs. ~17.0mil speakers)
5. Libyan Arabic (ayl, 3 sentences vs. ~5.6mil speakers)
6. Western Punjabi (pnb, 72 sentences vs. ~113mil speakers)
7. Aymara (aym, 2 sentences vs. ~2.8mil speakers)
8. Pashto (pus, 47 sentences vs. ~53.0mil speakers)
9. Igbo (ibo, 35 sentences vs. ~28.0mil speakers)
10. Sundanese (sun, 40 sentences vs. ~32.0mil speakers)

If we restrict instead to languages with an estimated number of speakers >= 50mil, then here are the top 5 (excluding Chinese variants):

1. Western Punjabi (pnb, 72 sentences vs. ~113mil speakers)
2. Pashto (pus, 47 sentences vs. ~53mil speakers)
3. Punjabi (pan, 204 sentences vs. ~200mil speakers)
4. Gujarati (guj, 168 sentences vs. ~60mil speakers)
5. Telugu (tel, 271 sentences vs. ~95mil speakers)

On a more cheery note, here are the 5 *best* represented languages (that are not conlangs) with >= 1mil speakers, by the same metric:

1. Kabyle (kab, ~765k sentences vs. ~3.4mil speakers)
2. Macedonian (mkd, ~78k sentences vs. ~1.4mil speakers)
3. Lithuanian (lit, ~123k sentences vs. ~2.3mil speakers)
4. Hungarian (hun, ~420k sentences vs. ~11.8mil speakers)
5. Finnish (fin, ~151k sentences vs. ~5.2mil speakers)

And those with >= 50mil speakers:

1. Italian (ita, ~918k sentences vs. ~65mil speakers)
2. Turkish (tur, ~739k sentences vs. ~76mil speakers)
3. German (deu, ~721k sentences vs. ~92mil speakers)
4. Russian (rus, ~1.1mil sentences vs. ~170mil speakers)
5. French (fra, ~665k sentences vs. ~203mil speakers)

Thanks Franklin. It's interesting to see how Eurocentric the Tatoeba corpus still is.

Based on the 2025 edition of Ethnologue 200, I found that some of the world's 100 most widely spoken languages are still completely unavailable on Tatoeba:

- Nigerian Pidgin [pcm] → 120.7M speakkers
- Dari [prs] → 33.4M speakkers
- Magahi [mag] → 21.0M speakkers
- Chhattisgarhi [hne] → 16.3M speakkers
- Pedi [nso] → 13.7M speakkers
- Chittagonian [ctg] → 13.0M speakkers
- Dyula [dyu] → 12.8M speakkers


All 7 of these languages are spoken either in Africa or South Asia.
