Languages of Ecuador: A worm's eye view of the Cathedral of Cuenta in front of a yellow sky

The home of the alpaca and Galapagos Islands, Ecuador is probably one of those countries you never think about. You’ve probably never thought about the languages of Ecuador either…

Yet despite not being known for its linguistic diversity and having lost many of its indigenous languages to time, Ecuador is home to dozens of languages from all across the world. Not bad for a country roughly the same size as Nevada!
