Is it possible to find out how many common names are added under each language so it would be more clear which of them need help with adding names the most?

Here’s a list of name counts for reptiles, mammals, amphibians and birds in all the site translated languages and a few others (there are over 400 lexicons). The data is a few months old, was not collected all at the same time and has changed since. It was originally gathered to find names with miss…

If a lexicon has not yet been added, is there a way to create it?

Yes anyone can create a lexicon, which has lead to duplicates like Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Bokmal; and Nonbre Comun, Nombres Científicos, Nomes Científicos, Nomi Scientifici, Noms Scientifiques, Научные названия and 學名. There are about 670 lexicons at this moment!

Does anybody know if it’s possible to do a some kind of search of names’ statistics with the UI or other way?

You need to find people to add those, I’m saddened to know how few names have many languages, of them top is Kazakh with 230, that’s unacceptable, no wonder there’re so few observers.

marina_gorbunovaorbunova-Yolkina: no wonder there’re so few observers. I agree that there is a relation between the number of common names in iNaturalist and the use of the platform. But most people are too busy to add them… But does my reaction answer your question? What statistics you mea…

Names meaning common names, I wouldn’t refer to people as names.) Your doc gives a current statistics, I don’t know what is needed to find it a year later or any random day, by statistics Iean just that, number of names in each language (added on iNat).

If Kazakh is you favorite language, I will add and extra table with Kazakh in it: language lexicon COUNT und Zulu 3440 und Mandarin Chinese 3119 und Setswana 2698 und Vermont Flora Codes 2273 und Nahuatl 1509 und Armenian 1428 und Xhosa 1400 und Tagalog 1353 und Malay (Indiv…
