I get very similar numbers for those except Esperanto, for which
for some reason I only get 199,000. For English I get 76,700,000.
For Espaņol I get 2,390,000.

Well... They shouldn't jump to such linear conclusions, but they
would have strong evidence that Lojban is more active than Loglan.

>Note that Esperanto
>has only 3 times more hits than Lojban.

And Espaņol only 6 times more! Since there are more than
300,000,000 native speakers of Spanish, we can estimate the
number of Lojban speakers to be around 50,000,000!  :)
