Always fascinated that English is the world's second language. As a primary languages not all that many speakers. Am I the only one to notice that Hebrew, a Northwest Semitic language, is not on the list?

Let me revise that. It's not there, but it comes in just under what seems to be the lowest number of speakers for the languages on this list, which seems to be about 11 million. So not there, but seems not have made the population cut off.

Modern Standard Arabic is interesting - no native speakers, so presumably everyone speaks a local dialect which is not taught.

Yes that's right But everyone can understand it, You can consider some dialects as another language e.g: Eng; I don't wanna go to the village MSA; La Ored an ath-hab ela alqareah My dialect ; Ma bde rouh lldae-a'h

Uyghur is a Turkic language and at least 10 million Uygurs not listed in this chart. (Should be under Karluk stream.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_language … However, there is a belief that there are more than 20 million Uyghurs live in China.

Am I the only one a bit surprised that Bengali and English are in the same family but Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are all classified as entirely separate?

It’s kind of a badly-kept secret, that linguists try to share, but doesn’t get out wide enough. I think there’s a quick assumption that similar to Europe, the “major” languages of East Asia should be related, but they’re not. (At least not demonstrably.)
