JW.ORG: 1100 languages and growing!

[jwhess]

It was mentioned in another thread that we made it to 1100 languages.

It took us 140 years to get the first 1000 languages covered.  We managed to get another 100 languages added in about 5 years.  Very impressive...♥️

I share the excitement of everyone with the milestone of 1100th language what happens to be :

 

Romany (Central Bulgaria)

 

Romani languages encompass sixty or more highly divergent dialects.

JW.org lists 23 of them so there is more scope

Don't our brothers do a fantastic job, with guidance from Jehovah. At the time of the last of the anointed being taken to their heavenly reward, they will be able to say of their work 'it has been accomplished'.

I don't remember now... Did anything bad happen when we reached 666 languages?

The number has changed but my list is the same as last time so, I can't say what language is supposed to have been added.

It's a puzzle. Any ideas?

How long do you reckon it’ll be before we get to 1200?

 

 Maybe even 2000?

One thing to keep in mind is there are over 7000 languages on this planet.  But around half of them have less than 1000 speakers.  In fact there are quite a few with less than 100 speakers.

 

So there are close to 3500 languages with more than 1000 speakers.  However, the 20 top languages are spoken by almost half of the worlds population.  So at 1101 translated, we are digging deep in the less spoken languages already.  It would seem a poor use of dedicated funds to assign a translation team of 5 people to spend years translating a language that was only spoken by 5 people...♥️

And due to globalization snd migration the number of languages (~7000) is decreasing.
