Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web and print publication of SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a Christian linguistic service organization which studies lesser-known languages primarily to provide the speakers with Bibles in their native language.
For example, in Ethnologue, the speakers of Persian and Azerbaijani languages in Iran are estimated as 36% and 37%, respectively.
Sometimes the total numbers of speakers of languages in a country differ from the overall population figure: for example, for Croatia, Ethnologue gives a total population of 4,496,869 while, remarkably, the number of Croatian speakers in Croatia is reported to be 4,800,000.

It prompted a series of meetings between conservationists and the Imraguen in a vast tent at Mamghar, at the southern entrance to the national park, with the aim of reconciling the demands of man and nature in what is, after all, a World Heritage Site.
For the Imraguen, the priority was to gain compensation for fishing restrictions during the spawning season, by means of development aid.
Traditionalists among the Imraguen are suspicious of such change, while 'modernists' are keen to profit from development aid that would allow them to diversify their sources of income and engage in activities other than fishing.

Ethnologue has been accused of going against general linguistic community consensus (and contrary to the opinion of the majority of the speakers themselves in some cases) as to what constitutes a separate language (as opposed to a dialect).
Ethnologue also attributes separate language status to " Yinglish ", an English vernacular spoken by some Jewish Americans which is to some degree influenced by the Yiddish and Hebrew languages.

 Hassaniya - Cassiopedia, The True Encyclopedia
Hassānīya is an Arabic dialect originally spoken by the Beni Hassān Bedouin tribes, who extended their authority over most of Mauritania and the Western Sahara between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Some of the "classicizing" forms are easily explained as recent loans from the literary language (such as /qaːnuːn/ 'law') or from sedentary dialects in case of concepts pertaining to the sedentary way of life (such as /mqass/ 'scissors' above).
Still one emphatic phoneme /zˤ/ is acquired from the neighbouring Zenaga Berber language along with a whole palatal series /c ɟ ɲ/ from Niger-Congo languages of the south.

Then the Imraguen with their nets on one side of the swarming fish, and the dolphins on the other side, move towards each other and both enjoy the bountiful harvest.
In a barren world, it appears to the observer that the Imraguen and the dolphins seem to have consciously melded together to find common joy as much as food in their shared pursuit of the fish.
Thus, in the case of the Imraguen, there is evidence that not only do the Imraguen call to the dolphins but that the Dolphins communicate in response.

 Imraguen language - Cassiopedia, The True Encyclopedia
The Imraguen language is allegedly spoken by the tiny (thousand-strong) Imraguen fishing tribe of the Banc d'Arguin National Park on the Atlantic coast of Mauritania.
According to Gerteiny (1967), it is "a strange version of Hassaniyya restructured on an Azêr base", Azer being a Soninke dialect.
The Ethnologue's description of their language appears to be based solely on this source, although they have now rejected his claim that the Nemadi had a separate Nemadi language.

 Mauritania - Chasing the Lizard’s Tail
As the Arabic language spread westwards from the Middle East, and then south along with the Maghrebi migrations, so did Islam, and in consequence we find that Moorish history runs almost parallel to that of the religion in North and West Africa.
The language is easily distinguishable by its typically sub-Saharan glottal stops used in the pronunciation of some consonants.
The fishermen are the Imraguen, and are considered by the Moors to be society's outcasts, similar in status to the former Indian caste of untouchables.

 Mauritania
In the area that is now Mauritania, the Bafour, a proto-Berber people, whose descendants may be the coastal Imraguen fishermen, were hunters, pastoralists, and fishermen.
Their fears were exacerbated by the 1966 decision to make the study of Hassaniya Arabic compulsory in secondary schools and the decision in 1968 to make Hassaniya Arabic, as well as French, an official language.
Differences over linguistic and racial issues subsequently caused strikes and demonstrations by students and trade unionists in 1968, 1969, and 1971; all demonstrations were harshly repressed by the government, which in 1966 had banned discussion of racial problems.
