The Number Of Countries And Languages In The World

Today i was watching "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" Show. I Found out world has 195 countries and world has 6800 languages. Isn't it amazing? If i divide 6800 to 195 is 34.87 It means each country has more than 35 languages averagely. I can't believe it. Yesterday Huming wrote on his blog it will be great if we have only one language. He will be surprise to read this.

    That is a surprisingly large number of languages. I can't believe there are 6800 languages out there. There only about 200 countries out there, so who made up so many languages. I kinda agreed with Huming that they should only have one language, so we don't have to learn so many rules for each language.

    Heena, you posted an interesting blog! 3% of students receiving ELL program services are Korean. It is amazing ratio compared to the number of Korean which is really small. I agree Huming's idea too. It could be really convenient without strugging to learn other's language
