The Ethnologue

One of our project managers was scouring the web and ran into a great source we’d like to recommend. It called “Ethnologue,” an online encyclopedic database that catalogs “all of the world’s 6,909 known living languages.”

In its Statistical Summaries section, you can browse languages by world area, language size, language family and country. “This section steps back from the detail to offer a summary view of the world language situation.”

You can find the language log at www.ethnologue.com. Click here to go directly to the Statistics section.
