V5.2: New version of model, November 2024

The model has made a new run from ITU data updates. ITU changed the percentage of individuals connected to the Internet for 62  countries, using sources provided by the countries. The changes concerned only one African country (Malawi), making a correction which implies a decrease from 28% to 18%.

84 million new L1+L2 internauts were included to version 5.2, this is insufficient to produce other changes, to the large majority of language’s indicators, other than cosmetical. The exception is for some languages of Malawi (like Chichewa, Lomwe, Tumbuka and Yao). The notable jump of Bangladesh’s connectivity (from 25% to 42%) pushes up some languages like Chittagonian and Rangpurri; the same occurs with Uzbek (Uzbekistan rate growing from 55% to 71%).
