Languanologue # 9

Today is the last day for the Ethnologue subseries of facts. We will see a short statistic on the language families listed by the Ethnologue.

Among the common languages, the Ethnologue lists 1 artificial language or constructed langauge, 82 creoles, 17 pidgins, 130 deaf sign languages, 23 mixed languages, 50 language isolates and 73 unclassified languages. We have already seen the top ten most spoken languages in the world and the top ten families with the most number of languages. All this data was from the Ethnologue: Languages of the World. For the next 2 days we will see facts on the other source Linguasphere Observatory. And the next 5 days will see facts on Endangered Languages of the World and Extinct Languages of the World.

More facts tomorrow....
