Is Zompist ever going to add more conlangs to his page of numbers 1-10? Or has he abandoned the endeavour of listing them all?

Why would you do that? There's no scientific use in it, except for documenting "Yeah, people make pseudo languages, these are the pseudo words for their numbers 1..10". Essentially, what Janko Gorenc has already been doing for like 10 years.

OMG is he still at it? EDIT
Yes. Even more OMG.
Never try to create 65 languages at once.

As far as I know he never undertook to list *all* conlangs - the focus has always been on natural languages.
Some of the conlangs Zomp has found and added himself, and others he has included following a request. I don't think he adds to the conlang list regularly.

I also notice I haven't seen many natlang additions lately either.

If you know any languages for which numbers are missing, send the numbers to zompist - I'm convinced he'll be glad to add them.

The numbers lists are awaiting some attention. I need to revamp the whole thing to directly use Unicode and allow some extra metadata.
