tightly knit (

believe that 10000 years ago when the world

they spoke perhaps 12000 languages between

fewer in number. In recent centuries trade

globalisation and better communications

present the world
has about 6800 languages. The distribution of
these languages is hugely
uneven. The
general rule is that mild zones have relatively
few languages often spoken by many
people while hot wet zones have lots
often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only
around 200
languages; the Americas
about 1000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific
perhaps 3200 of which
Papua New Guinea
alone accounts for well over 800. The median

几千年来，语言一直在不断地变化，但最近一段时间

集者的时候，小而紧密的群体形成了各自独立的语

当世界上只有五百万到一千万人口时，他们之间
可能会说
12000
种语言。不久之后，这些人
中的许多人开始定居下来成为农民，他们的语言也变得越来越固定，越来越少。近几个世纪
来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和普及义务教育的普及，特别是过去几十年的全球化和
更好的交流，都导致了许多语言的消失，英语、西班牙语和汉语等占主导地位的语言正日益
占据主导地位。目前，世界上大约有
6800
种
语言。这些语言的分布极不均衡。一般规律
是，温和地带的语言相对较少，经常有很多人
