The tiny country along the southeastern Arabian Peninsula, you likely don’t think about Oman that often, if ever. Yet the languages of Oman are one of the most diverse in the entire Middle East, likely due to the country’s relatively open immigration policy.
Indeed, Oman has languages from almost every inhabited continent, ranging from languages with several hundred million speakers, to languages with only a few million at best, not to mention those languages native to the country.
