Datapoint Sango/Size of speaker community

There must be more than one million speakers because the population of Bangui alone, where almost everyone knows Sango, is more than half a million. However, every recent figure (like three million, for example) seems to be an inflated one, being based on population figures that are inflated by international organizations. If one says that 80 per cent of the Central Africans speak Sango, the total figure would be higher, obviously, if the total population was said to be four million, which I doubt very much.
