 Central limit theorem Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Central limit theorems are a set of weak-convergence results in probability theory.
But, this limit is just the characteristic function of a standard normal distribution, N(0,1), and the central limit theorem follows from the Lévy continuity theorem, which confirms that the convergence of characteristic functions implies convergence in distribution.
Thus the central limit theorem can be interpreted as a statement about the properties of density functions under convolution: the convolution of a number of density functions tends to the normal density as the number of density functions increases without bound, under the conditions stated above.

Figures on current language use vary (Crystal, 1987; Krauss, 1998; Grimes, 1997) but indicate that roughly half of these languages are now extinct.
Table 1 arranges the languages alphabetically, while Table 2 arranges them according to number of speakers.
