Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm interested in languages. How many languages are there in the world?
user
There are approximately 7,139 languages in the world, according to Ethnologue, a reliable source on languages.
assistant
That's a lot. Are they all written languages?
user
No, not all languages are written languages. Some languages, especially indigenous ones, are primarily spoken and don't have a written form.
assistant
That's fascinating. Can you name a few languages that are spoken in multiple countries?
user
Yes, a few examples include English, which is widely spoken in many countries, Arabic, which is spoken in several countries in the Middle East and North Africa, and Spanish, which is spoken in many countries in Central and South America.
