NUMBER OF LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD
Some say that the true number of live languages in the world exceeds 7000.
The interesting answer to this question is the fact that there is no one answer to this question as the exact number of languages shall always remain a mystery.
According to the latest statistics by Ethnologue, the live number of languages is estimated to be around 7106.
It is interesting to note that the bible is available in more than 2000 languages today. The actual figure of 7106 looks too large a number to be true even though it is nothing but the truth.
Ethnologue estimates that around more than 900 languages are in danger to go extinct.
The total number of documented languages that went extinct is 129, with 110 dying out in the 20th century, seven languages went extinct in the 2nd millennium BC and 12 languages died out in this century.
