• ... that Swahili, the first language of less than 800,000 people, is the official language in twice as many countries as the world's most spoken first language?

• Reviewed: Premio Lo Nuestro 1992
• Comment: DYK check incorrectly says article is not 5x expanded. It was 1158 characters of prose before I started and is now 6757 characters.

5x expanded by ThaddeusB (talk). Self nominated at 04:55, 26 August 2013 (UTC).

• Indeed, it has been expanded fivefold. A decent effort and the hook is interesting. No copyvio or close paraphrasing detected, according to our trustworthy EARWIG. I shall assume good faith on the offline sources. This article is ready to go go go! ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:12, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
