I guess it depends on your definition of "widely spoken."

According to Wikipedia, the number of people speaking Telugu is 0.97% of the world. It's not even a statistical margin of error.

Still, how hard can it be to have a machine step through all of the possible combinations of every iOS-supported character set and jam them into iMessage to see if they're failsafe?

1%? Are you kidding? That's over 70 million. It's on the order of population of Germany, and 10 times more, than Swedes.

i think the metric isn't the right one. 1% is a small user base, but of that 1% how many of them have access to iphones?
