I think it would be quite a nice touch to have something like a weekly \"Top 10\" selected from across the whole spectrum of languages (by a few of the moderators maybe).

We know that your Urdu is excellent, and your Slovenian is also not to be sneezed at



However, I agree that it\'s not easy to define a Top Ten discussion. Unless it\'s about ice cream, of course.
