The supported languages file (https://github.com/wooorm/franc/blob/master/Supported-Langua...) lists Matu Chin as having 182,000,000 speakers. Having never heard of it this surprised me, but the Wikipedia page for it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matu_Chin_language) lists 40,000 speakers. Mistake to fix?

You seem to be completely right, I hand-crawled the data (https://github.com/wooorm/speakers), but seem to have made big typo there! Thanks!
