But not all.
I'm writing of 'American Indians.'
Please feel free to correct my figures or to add to them:
Peru: 14 million
Mexico: 12 million
Bolivia: 6 million
Guatemala: 5 million
Ecuador: 3 million
U.S.: 2.5 million
Colombia: 1 million
Canada: 1 million
As you might guess, these are meant to be contemporary population figures.
In my youth I think that there were still over 50 Indian languages spoken in the Us. I wonder how many there are now.
