They are not underrepresented.
Note that gismu are based not just on 6 arbitrary languages but on how this
or that phoneme or their combination is spread all over the world.

The languages you mention would just get such a small weight  that wouldn't
affect the form of gismu.

I tested an algorithm with 4 - 12 major languages and found that first 4
languages is not enough, 12 languages is too many (although of course you
can use them all to score new gismu to prove or disprove my claim).
