JW.ORG: 1090 languages and growing!

[Raven]

Just thinking that hopefully we will reach the 1,000 languages mark by this year's Memorial celebration...I think it will happen!

Not sure which one is added, though.

Namakura.  3rd language recently added from the Pacific island country Vanuatu located in the South Pacific Ocean. Specifically spoken in Shefa Province, north Efate, Tongoa, and Tongariki by 3,800 people.

Introductions for the Ministry video

996...

Which one’s been added? 

[BenJepthah]

I love this! The countdown is on!

[Jothob]

Just four more languages & we’ve reached 1,000!! Can you believe it! ONE THOUSAND languages...wow! I can barely name 30 or so...

[Dages]

I'm thinking maybe they are doing the 1000 before the memorial for the a special witness: Many websites will speak about how we are the first website ever to be translated in 1000 languages, that would be very nice and people may want to attend the Memorial.

Oh well, that does make sense that they are doing that. At least when we finally reach 1,000 nobody will be able to dispute it, since technically different scripts of a single language are still the same language.

[Dages]

Ho well, we well get that 1000 languages at some point... or maybe it will turn into only 1 in Paradise, then the thousand will become 1

Although!

Assyro-Chaldean (Silopi) was added.

To be honest.. In the field I work in, we are actually meeting people who still speak Chaldean, Assyrian and such. Last Friday I spoke to a man who speaks the Chaldean dialect. Jehovah doesn't forget them

Both wonderful and amazing

I think it’s funny that we’ve all been ‘watching the DVD screensaver to see it bounce exactly from the corner’ and then right at the last minute the number goes down.

imho: 996 last count +1new language = 997 - 24 = 973 

 

None have been removed. There are 997 different choices. You can still say, make the choice of Serbian (Cyrillic) српски (ћирилица) or Serbian (Roman) srpski (latinica)

 

Perhaps someone will have an idea which 24 scripts are not counted.

If the script being different ( the written versions are going to be understood by different people although the spoken language is the same ) . Sign language is different from region to region with different and unique signs ( sometimes very different. Sometimes one handed sometimes two. ) Should we think of all the different sign language variations as just one language? Or many?

It really wouldn't work at all to consider such languages as Chinese mainland sign language, Japanese sign language, Russian sign language, British sign language, American sign language, etc., all as one language, especially since these different language groups don't understand eachother.
