Wikipedia's 'List of languages by number of native speakers' -

WUaS has recently finished beginning wiki pages for each of these 15, each of which WUaS is planning to create an accredited (in their countries), online, MIT OCW-centric, wiki university, - and all of which you'll find on the WUaS Languages' page -


Languages -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages



And, again, WUaS plans for bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees to be in the main and official languages in the above countries, and here's the main -

Nation States at WUaS page -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States -

and check out the main nation states on this page, vis-a-vis the above countries.


And here are MIT OCW Translated courses, as a beginning of some of the courseware, and a model for translation -

(More countries (now 242+) and languages (7,105+) at WUaS to come, as beginnings of online, MIT OCW universities and schools).


*

EACH OF THE ABOVE LANGUAGES WILL BECOME A MIT OCW-centric UNIVERSITY IN THAT LANGUAGE ...

as you'll see in the "Ideas" section in one of the United Nations' languages at WUaS, e.g.,  -

Mandarin language (Chinese) 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese) - 

the above languages will dovetail with  the U.N. languages, for example -



"This Mandarin language (Chinese) language, wiki, subject page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese) - will be an online university in Mandarin, paralleling the other United Nations' languages', wiki, subject pages, which will become MIT OCW-centric, WUaS universities and schools, also in those languages:

Arabic -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Arabic_language

English -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/English_language

French -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/French_language

Mandarin -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese)

(Persian language: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Persian_language)

Russian -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Russian_language

Spanish -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Spanish_language"

Again, what's far-reaching about WUaS, is that ... Each language will become an online, wiki, MIT OCW-centric university in that language.

And again, please remember that WUaS is wiki (editable web pages), so if you find friends who would like to wiki-develop an university in their country or language, please invite them to do so, or just email them a wiki page. This is a remarkable opportunity to develop a university in one's own country / language.
