I believe Persian is an Indo-European language

Thanks @pgwenlan and @Bjern , I added Welsh as a new descendant of Celtic -> Brittonic.  The spreadsheet is visible here on icloud.com.

Does anyone know how we can know what the new added language is?

We are getting very close.  If it is a general conversation, I guess I could say that we translate in "about" a 1000 languages (like Br. Lett's "less than 6 months" comment)...😎

Getting there, we could reach 1000 by the memorial on Friday, April 19, 2019. Imagine inviting people in 1000 different languages.

What a shout of praise to Jehovah! 🌟

The Cabécar are an indigenous group (population of nearly 17,000) They speak Cabécar, of the remote Talamanca region of eastern Costa Rica.

There are about 450 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Costa Rica. Their meetings are conducted in ten languages, including Costa Rican Sign Language and two languages that are indigenous to Costa Rica—Bribri and Cabecar.

 

It's good to post again although it's a lot slower using Excel on android.

Remember there are almost 7000 languages on this planet.  Here is an interesting quote from the "Linguistics Society Org.

 

As of 2009, at least a portion of the bible had been translated into 2,508 different languages, still a long way short of full coverage. The most extensive catalog of the world’s languages, generally taken to be as authoritative as any, is that of Ethnologue (published by SIL International), whose detailed classified list as of 2009 included 6,909 distinct languages.
