There are now 101 ectolanguages or proectolanguages

There are now not just 15 active ectolanguages, since the creation of Ectovietnamese on 10.03.2022 (10 March 2022).

There are also 18 basic ectolanguage items which need to be translated into each new ectolanguage, before it is considered a new and active ectolanguage.

These 18 basic items are words or phrases (proper ectonyms).

However, before a language becomes an ectolanguage, it must be a potential ectolanguage, and perhaps 'proectolanguage' is the best term for such a more ectopolitan language or dialect.

Any new proectolanguage requires a more elementary acceptance, and needs 3 basic ectolanguage items to be translated, or the terms 'ectopolitan', 'Kaisiris', and 'Tallini'.

You also need the name of the proectolanguage, but in this case the name doesn't need to have an ectolinguistically-friendly novel form, such as with the very ectolinguistic «エクトニホンゴ», which is totally in Katagana syllables, or the Japanese equivalent of italic characters in English (Katagana are Japanese syllabary used when writing words borrowed from foreign languages other than Chinese); which is pronounced "Ectonihongo"; and which means Ectojapanese, so the word sounds very Japanese orally, yet looks very foreign in written form!

So in the case of a proectolanguage, all you need is the language's regular name, and no linguistic modification is required of the language's regular endonym, at least at the proectolanguage stage — ie, the language's name doesn't become a proper ectonym.

Well, the latest ectohistorical development is this: at least three words, or 'ectopolitan', 'Kaisiris', and 'Tallini', have been translated into 101 ectolanguages or proectolanguages, spoken by at least 7.911 billion people, or 99.46% of the world's population as of January 2022.

All of the current 15 ectolanguages — Ectoenglish, Ectoitalian, Ectofrench, Ectohebrew, Ectolatin, Ectogreek, Ectooscan, Ectochinese, Ectokorean, Ectogerman, Ectojapanese, Ectoportuguese, Ectorussian, Ectospanish, and Ectovietnamese —, on the other hand, are spoken by at least 4.436 billion people, or 55.77% of the world's population as of January 2022.

The latest proectolanguages added to the list on 29.05.2022 (29 May 2022) are Assamese, and Dari.

Assamese is spoken mainly in the northeast Indian state of Assam, where it is an official language. It is spoken by at least 23.5 million people, and serves as the lingua franca of the region.

Dari, or Dari Persian, is essentially a political, more than a linguistic term, used for the various dialects of the Persian language spoken in Afghanistan. Dari is the term officially recognised and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language, hence it is also known as Afghan Persian, or Eastern Persian.

As Professor Nile Green remarks, "the impulses behind renaming of Afghan Persian as Dari were more nationalistic than linguistic", in order to create an Afghan state narrative. What virtually all linguists deny, however, and this is the major problem with the pseudoscience of linguistics, is that the Dari Persian problem, is also the problem with all of the more than 7,100 languages spoken around the world!

Even Esperanto, a popular constructed international auxiliary language, and the most popular of all constructed languages, is ultimately under the authority of the Akademio de Esperanto, one of the many linguistic regulators, or language academies. These are also influenced by politics at least indirectly, and in the case of Esperanto, it is more international politics, than national, so the language is still not strictly under the control of natural, and very broad-minded persons, or groups of persons.

Only Interlingua among the current proectolanguages, appears to have no regulating body, as its vocabulary, grammar, and orthography are viewed as the product of ongoing social forces, so at least in theory Interlingua continues to evolve independent of any language regulator. The International Auxiliary Language Association, the body that largely created foundations of the constructed, but more naturalistic language of Interlingua, ceased to exist in 1954, and according to the secretary of Union Mundial pro Interlingua, "Interlingua doesn't need its Academy". However, the Union Mundial pro Interlingua is also an NGO, or a non-governmental organisation, and is thus still influenced by politics, especially EU politics. Only an ectogovernmental organisation (EGO) like The Ectolanguage Organism can guarantee some rational, scientific, and/or unbiased natural linguistic or ectolinguistic thinking.

Apart from a few basic differences in vocabulary, there is little difference between the formal written Persian of Afghanistan (Dari) and Iran (Farsi). In fact, some Persian-speakers in Afghanistan still prefer to call their language "Farsi", which is the endonym for the Persian (exonym) spoken in the Iranian "motherland". There is also a form of Persian known as Tajiki Persian, and officially known as Tajik since 1999, but this language is written today mainly in Cyrillic characters, rather than the more ancient Perso-Arabic script.

Dari is spoken by 35 million people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.

According to Twitter tweet of 28 February 2022 by Ethnologue, 7,151 "languages" are spoken around the world.

Since linguists estimate that there are 7,151 "languages" spoken or used around the world, but only 101 of them are ectolanguages or proectolanguages, or modalities of written and oral communication which have potential for genuine social-societal purposes, this means that there are actually a total of 7,050 political or tribal (political-commercial) languages, which today are also called enatolanguages.
