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.
