Hmm, I wonder if there's some way to compare the size of the language specification documents? :-}
PS. It comes as absolutely no surprise to me that C++ has the most keywords. But then, if I were to add AMOS Professional, that had well over 800 keywords at the last count... Because those BASIC dialects had a large set of built-in functions that would have been library functions in other languages. BlitzBasic II had many such functions defined as library functions. GFA-Basic provided many system library functions as built-in functions. There was a famous book about Murphy's law applied to computers where programming languages were advertised by the number of their built-in commands. :-)
