At least 3 methods exists (code snippet), example:

Query Result's basic unit
SPARQL:
SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item prop:P2 entity:Q5 } LIMIT 10
{ … },
{
  "item": {
    "type": "uri",
    "value": "https://lingualibre.org/entity/Q12"

Javascript:
var endpoint = 'https://lingualibre.org/sparql';
var sparql = 'SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item prop:P2 entity:Q5 } LIMIT 10';
$.getJSON(endpoint,
	{ query: sparql, format: 'json' },
	function(data){ console.log('JQuery: ',data)}

❌ Is Language (Q3) β†’ list all languages with number of unique words and speakers

Too large to run (not even on Lingualibre Query).

SELECT ?language (COUNT(?audio) AS ?nbAudio) (COUNT(?speaker) AS ?nbSpeaker) WHERE {
  ?language prop:P2 entity:Q4 .
  ?audio prop:P4 ?language .
  ?speaker prop:P4 ?language .

GROUP BY ?language

To do: do smaller sub-queries. For now, works only for one counter and one language at a time:
