Ethnologue Country Digests

Explore the linguistic landscape of each country with Ethnologue Country Digests, downloadable PDFs that provide detailed, country-specific language data, presented in an exclusive format with summaries and analysis not available through the online version of Ethnologue.

Each digest includes:

  • A comprehensive country overview.
  • Statistical summaries by language status, size, and family.
  • Alphabetical listing of languages in the country, with in-depth language descriptions.
  • Full-color language map(s) for visual reference.
  • Listings by population, status, family, and region.
  • Indexes of ISO 639 codes and alternate language names.

Unlike our online subscriptions, which provide access to individual language and country profiles, these digests present curated, country-specific data in a convenient, downloadable format, making them ideal for researchers, linguists, and anyone interested in understanding the languages of a particular country.
