Do you know....
1. the number of living languages?
2. the language with the greatest number of native speakers?
3. the language spoken by the greatest number of non-native speakers?
4. the country where the greatest number of languages are spoken?
5. how long languages have existed?
6. the first language ever written?
7. the oldest written language still in existence?
8. the language with the most words?
9. the language with the fewest words?
10. the most widely published language?
11. the language which has won the most Oscars for Best Foreign Film?
12. into how many languages the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been translated?

  2. I'm amazed! Congratulations! :)))

    Only 2 small corrections:
    -about question number 6, the first language ever written was Sumerian or Egyptian (3200 BC);
    -question 12: the Declaration of Human Rights has been translated into 328 languages and dialects.

    By the way... do you have a name?
