I thought you might find my recent monograph of interest:

     Linguistic Cultures of the World: A Statistical Reference (Greenwood
Press)

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.
