# Get the entirety of a W|A result ouput in plaintext?

GROUPS:
 I am trying to get a list of language fractions of Papua New Guinea, which the site informs me has 797 entries. However, it will not load more entries than roughly 300 (by clicking the "more" button) and just sit there doing nothing but having three squares change sizes for over half an hour. Clicking the "total" button at the end of the list just gets me a very large and very useless (.png, I think) image of the list itself. Downloading the dataset gets me an even more useless .xls file, which only has the names of the languages. Opening the code and running it gets me the most useless output of all: EntityValue: Unable to download data. Some or all results may be missing. Of course, all results are missing. All I want is just a plaintext list with all 797 values (in the form language (percent), like it is given in the usual plaintext output), but Wolfram Alpha has seemed to fight me every step of the way. I would like this dataset so I can then organize in Word and Excel to input into a third-party heatmap program to give me a map of the density and distribution of different language subfamilies. Seeing as this is for a final project which hinges on this dataset alone, I'd like to find a way to get what I'd like pretty quickly.

 Hi, Go to the free Wolfram cloud session and type: CountryData["PapuaNewGuinea", "Languages"] Then the output will be formatted with reduced output. Go to the end of the list and click "More". You'll see all entries.
