We think the UN operating in six official languages is
impressive but those are a tiny fraction of the 7,102 languages in the
world. Of those thousands researchers
tell us 23 are mother tongues spoken by almost 50 BILLION people. But all those people don’t live in one spot. People move, learn new languages, and yet
still speak their mother tongue – sharing it with the people in their new
places.
Take a look at the Infographic created by Alberto Lucas
Lopez, Graphics Director at the South China Morning Post to see what the
languages are and where they’re spoken.
