USA has that much language yet you will never see them attack each other. Small Nigeria is so forking bigoted and ethnocentric

Summary.
USA uses guns to settle disputes. 😂.. No time for bants.

Nigerians are cowards who uses words to show hatred amongst themselves.

USA. U do anyhow, u collect glocks.. Dangerous men lives and survives over there.

EyeCumInPiss:
Meaning Nigerians have 537 ways of Speaking in Tongues. 😂

Whatever you are smoking, stop it before it stops you

And some people be telling you that Nigeria should break because we are ethno religiously divided.

This Papua New Guinea own is funny, from one village to another it's a different distinct language, and most of the people aren't exposed to the outside world, they are still living primitive lifestyles. Every clan with its own language

As tiny as Papua New Guinea is, they have 841 languages . I miss Jehovah's witnesses awake of years ago. I always learn new things. It was there I heard of Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste( East Timor) for the first time.

They have actually grown pass that stage. Also, those languages are spoken by immigrants

illicit:
There are a lot of immigrants from many nations there

Not only the immigrant population there are also some unpopular native US colonies like Puertorico, east and northern somoa etc who speak other languages that are not english there are also a lot spanish cities there.

Surprised that the United States has that much.
Didn't even know they have different ethnics to that extent.
Though a very big country with large expanse of land , almost equivalent in size to a Continent.

They are civilised. The languages include Hebrews, Yoruba and Igbo. Not necessarily their native language.

EmekaBlue:
Wait o. Apart from English what else do Americans speak?!

Spanish,Indian and somoan.

Haydens:
In everything "most" Nigeria always tops the list in Africa and comes either 2nd or 3rd in the world but we have never produced any good president that will make the economy better.

When will this country top as the country with the best economy in the world or even Africa?

We often win "most" but never win "best."

Because People like you,if given the small power .e g as a Governor,the first thing to seek is ethnic cleansing! e g the Fulani-Heardmen trying to impose themselves on the rest of other Tribes!
-You can see why Ebonyi is counted as not a true Ibo speaking,as I was shocked two months ago,when my Friend from the East was analysing it and he concluded that those people
don't speak real Ibo,just as I was dazed when I went to Ekiti- Aromoko and I couldn't understand their Yoruba language! So, according to my friend, Ebonyi are better called the Kogi and I was perplexed and keep thinking about it since!
•So, America used their diversity to propagate the 'American Dream' !
•Do you know that once you are in America, it's your Skill and Competence that counts- there is nothing like State of Origin,etc.
The same with most Western Countries like Canada,etc.
It's when you turned against the State e .g Fraud, Terrorists or Insurrections - they trace you to their Database and get hold of you!
That is why they will remained Number 1 in the World!

By courtesy of immigration, not by indigenousness.

In light of this, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia are worth the marvel.

Neddyogu:
Native Americans alone can account for more than 100 indigenous languages in the US. All the many native American tribes each speak a different language most times not mutually intelligible.

That was in the past. Today more than 98% of native Americans speak English.

Misleading

Holluwhakemmy:
USA I thought their only language is English

Americans speaks English. Immigrant speaks their various languages there. It's just like you a Yoruba roun travels to USA and starts speaking Yoruba.

clefstone:
USA having that many language has to be explained. I no gree

Why are you all surprised?

Dude it's just like you, a Yoruba or an Igbo travels to USA and starts speaking your language there, along with your kids and tribesmen to the extent y'all formed a community over there.

DataAlchemist:
United states?? thought they only speak english language, never knew they have diverse range of ethnic groups

USA don't have any diverse range of ethnic groups. Those people are known as immigrants! They're not indigens. Americans speaks only English language. You as an immigrant travels to USA and starts speaking Yoruba, Igbos etc. Hope you understand now?

yinkus6750:

It's the immigrant languages bro. Only the aboriginal languages (American Indian languages) English and Spanish are the major languages that has enough case for the term "Ethnics" in America. French was largely spoken in Lousiana but I don't know whether it has enough relevancy to be termed an ethnic language.

like when you make the list of the "most" developed country in the world

I speak English too but it doesn't mean my native tongue is extinct.

StPete:

You're out of it. Even black Americans attack Africans! USA is the most segregated country in the universe!

illicit:

Diversity in US is not about immigrants, they have different indigenous cultures and languages. Even English is not totally agree as their official language as many regions are using indigenous languages in house of assembly and written their laws

KingLennon:
I think the accurate statistics was not gotten from Nigeria. We should be number 1. Tower of Babel was in Nigeria

do u know how many islands and forests are in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea that resulted to so many languages?..
Nigeria got so many dialects, about 2k

GO0DHardDick:

it's not all about immigrants,just like Brazil and Mexico, there are so many native Americans that speak their ancestral languages...about 169 languages

Papua New Guinea with so much languages? What's their population?



I heard they hate strangers in that country.


If you look at language, you'd have to believe there's God.

iHart:

It's a tall dream in this generation cos of the way things have played out.

NairaMaster1:

This list has to be about native languages and not that of immigrants otherwise, Nigeria also will have more than 537 listed.

Also, other Cosmopolitan countries like the UK, Canada, Russia, Israel will all be on the list if immigrants languages are counted.

Neddyogu:
I speak English too but it doesn't mean my native tongue is extinct.

Are you saying that the over 500 languages spoken in the US today are all from native Americans?
