Truly our Father Jehovah has great love for mankind! Seeing Jehovah's personality in action, reaching out to ALL people moves me deep inside.

This is so true! Something I found especially touching is when I saw languages added for ethnic peoples who are often racially discriminated, such as various dialects of Romany for the Romani tribes. People in the world might hate a group of people and mistreat them, but Jehovah really loves them and provides for them.

[Paolo Sevilla]

It went down to 819. What happened?

Why?

[Tortuga]

I'm going to throw out a guess, I wonder if it is a font issue because the site was redesigned,..

[Tortuga]

It's back to 941...

Interesting. I only see 940. Either way, maybe those other languages got lost in the shuffle...?

 

[humble bumble bee]

Besides the Sign Languages, two thirds of the languages that have 'Publication Download Only' were affected.

Its good to see them all back, although 'Cakchiquel (Central)' is not in the list, making a total of 940

[Tortuga]

It was 941 when I posted earlier.

Yes it was, I was surprised to see the no. go down. It may recover

Yeah. And you specified that Cakchiquel (Central) is missing. Everyone on Earth speaks that language!

 

[Raven]

It appears that it's being sorted. No need to worry.

TonyWenz,

 

Why by Aug 1? 

[➕👇 ꓤꓱꓷꓠꓵ🎵Tone]

Random date. No real reason. End of service year? (Should have been 31!)

I see. I thought I was missing something.  

I think by the end of 2018 it will be more then 1000 languages, but I might be wrong

Considering how often we get a new language added, I'd say there's a very good chance we will reach the 1,000 mark before the end of the year.
