Other Language Families Attested in Asia
So uh, what about the Indo-European and Dravidian languages? The former extends well into Asia and the latter is to my knowledge confined to Asia. Also I'm not sure what a long history of writing has to do with the languages. This is true of the Afro-Asiatic languages (e.g. Egyptian, Phoenecian, Hebrew) yet is not mentioned on the
Languages of Africa page.

This article needs some work. As you can tell, articles like
Languages of Africa and
Languages of Europe are much more developed. I agree with all of your comments and would recommend just making the changes yourself. Although with the
Indo-European language family, I would suggest only adding the branches relevant to Asia, such as
Balto-Slavic and
Indo-Iranian. –

Africa and Europe are more coherent linguistic areas than Asia.
East Asian languages for example covers an area sharing many
areal features. But it's hard to say that languages over all or most of Asia have any features in common. --

The languages spoken on the Korean peninsula are "Germanic"? Seriously? — Preceding

Should Dari, Persian, and Tajik be separate?
The list seems to separate the 3 despite being the same language, albeit different dialects. Should we merge them?

Fake entry: Akcrai
Looks like the list contains a fake entry, the language of "Akcrai" if I'm not mistaken. Unless there's a language with 20 mil speakers that's official to Cyprus, Indonesia, Nepal and India
