Linguistic Diversity in the World:
More than seven billion people live on our planet. They have different cultures and beliefs. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that more than seven thousand languages are spoken in the world. If we include the dialects of every language that are as unique in nature as the language itself then the number would be way higher. However, 40% of the earth’s population can only speak one language. It is true that more than half of the earth’s population is bilingual, but despite that, we cannot understand every person on the planet. It is impossible for a person to learn all the languages of the world. Even polyglots don’t know every vernacular spoken on earth.
