I thought you might find my recent monograph of interest:

The book gives over 150,000 stats covering 500+ language groups worldwide (demographics, economics, geography, etc.). I would be glad to send to you an EXCEL spreadsheet of the raw data (or to any researcher who may find it of interest). Otherwise, the link below to Amazon gives more qualitative details; the book, however, is largely covered in the spreadsheet which is complementary to researchers/scholars.
