This paper reviews the Wikipedias for the smallest languages it is available for. We compute the most frequent shared articles (by automatically extracting their translation links), categories and other features. By analysing these data and aligning it tentatively with the literature, it is aimed at an understanding what interests could connect endangered languages. Which needs towards an emerging digital infrastructure could these results point to, is what the discussion is concerned with besides the crucial question of representativity of this data for small and endangered languages.
