Surprised about UK... Thought they all speak English.. US and Canada still understandable because of the boundaries between fellow soutthern and northern American countries that speak Spanish and Latin.

I don't know what the UK is doing on that list, UK speaks only one language, English, apart from Welsh language. Even the welsh speaks English also. Unless they are counting foreign languages spoken in the UK.

USA, UK Germany and others are not supposed to be on that list, if languages spoken by foreigners are to be included, Nigeria speaks 1000 languages

Lying story from the bible is what you're holding on to in this 21st century. The reason why we have different languages is very simple. People live in different parts of the world and they have to create different languages for themselves to use. The bible story writers were real clowns. Trying to seek answer to that common sense stuff, they ended up bringing up false stories. Smh.

Maybe you'll have to tell us how tower of balablu also caused the difference in our skin colours too

languages are not created.
It's a natural God given ability.

South Africa has 11 official languages, others I think it's different Khoi languages like Griqua, Kwe etc.. White South Africans outside of Afrikaans and English, have Greeks and Portuguese primarily, then you have the Indians! South Africa has the highest of Indians outside of India so I'm guessing it's their languages like Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati etc etc.. everybody in Africa is also in SA I'm guessing they're also including their languages, but is a lot more than the 42

That means language is not the barrier development, other stuff which I cannot figure out must be responsible for our chaos

SMARTMOTORS:
Some people dey mistake Dialect as Language....very bad!

and even accent, if not I see no reason why UK should be in that list

Really!! Please can you give a list of the 524 languages spoken in nigeria. I only know of English, yoruba,hausa,igbo,fulani,akwa ibom,edo

Was dialects counted or how come Nigeria has 524 languages?

A lot of dem would soon go extinct

Since when has the UK began to speak 82 languages?

shadrach77:
How did countries like US, UK and Canada have several languages? I thought it's only English they speak

There are locals before the US was founded.

Plus, most US founders are from English and neighboring countries.

shadrach77:

Their English varies per states or my ethnic I should say

clefstone:
Kindly explain US and UK numbers

The guy just did copy and paste without asking proper question....

Those English speaking countries have more than 1 language cox of immigrants that dominated some parts of their countries...

ellizy:

Varies in what sense?

If you say their English varies, does it mean they aren't speaking English or what do you mean?

Fryx:

smokinloud:
So, Papua and Guinea,with their little landmass, get number of languages pass Nigeria and dem no dey fight themselves like us

No mind igbo people, na dem be troublemakers. They're all over the whole place. They always want to claim ownership of anywhere they're welcomed with open arms. Hausa no get joy, that's why dem no fit drag land with Aboki.

Moniya4Real:
Exactly bro. I don’t understand a single word spoken by some yorubas, especially in Ondo state.

Ondo Yoruba is still Yoruba,their own way of speaking it is just different.

Just as UK English speaking is different from US English speaking but both are English language...

Who ever wrote this need to be flogged so you count people from Pakistan afganistan or somalia and nigeria that seek for asylum in Germany or Italy as Germany or italy having another language? How many languages are in oduduwa or igbo biafra

daben1:
no mind dem, apart from English, which other language do they speak? Yeye list

Almost every other language in the world is spoken in those places because of immigrants. The languages in reference are not indigenous but spoken cause of immigrants

shadrach77:

They are native Americans..

Fryx:


What language do Hausas, Yorubas, and Igbos speaks before the English came to colonize us?

You're a clown bro, how does this answer the question?


You said their are locals before US founders found US and colonize it with English...

At least you know Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo were being spoken before English became universal language and this same Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo are still well spoken up till date, and it's recognized globally...


So what was the native language locals were speaking in US before the US founders found it, at least, the language should have it's identity...

You believe in the tale of Babel?

boxypane:
Omo you go fear. See wetin Tower of Babel cause for World.

so you still belive those old tales

Does England has other languages other than English.

musicwriter:
@all asking why many languages in a country like the USA.

Before Europeans got to the USA, there were native people already living in America and speaking many languages.

English was used to enslave them but the people and their native languages still exist just as we have our native languages here in Africa but instead speak the slave masters language.

mention the native languages in the USA...
