JW.ORG: 1090 languages and growing!


Recommended Posts

Just found an interesting language Rusyn (Carpathian). Sounds like a mix of Russian and Ukranian and I think my grandmother spoke this language. But I've never heard the word Rusyn. Caleb speaking this language reminded me of my childhood.

More info on that language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusyn_language

He lights up my path.

As I hear and obey.”

Anal --> India

 

Anāl, also known as Pakan Naga after the two principal villages it is spoken in, is a Southern Naga language, part of the Sino-Tibetan language family, spoken by the Anal people in India and a dwindling number in Burma. It had 83,000 speakers in India according to the 2001 census, and 55000 in Burma in 2010.[1] It has two principal clans, murchal and Moshum, and is closest to Lamkang. The language of wider communication is Meithei. Anal is written in the Latin script,[3] with a literacy rate of about 87%

Manipur is a state in northeastern India, with the city of Imphal as its capital.

The language catalogue in the Windows version of the JW Library app lists a total of 1370 languages (including 103 sign languages). English (Nigeria) is not on that list, while the  three flavors of Chhattisgarhi are numbered 1318, 1319 and 1335.

Can you do a screenshot or provide a link to that? Please

Actually the very same 1023 language count listed in the language selector on the web site is less than the actual number of languages, because last year there was an announcement that the language count adds one language having several scripts once once (e.g. Serbian has both Latin and Cyrillic), while MEPS has separate language entries for each script variant (SB and SBO in case of Serbian). If you take the list and count each entry, you get 1049 languages.
