Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Tajikistan!

A tiny landlocked nation in Central Asia, Tajikistan is perhaps best known for its impressive mountains and lakes. But the languages of Tajikistan are arguably just as impressive, coming from all over the world. And this makes sense, seeing as how Tajikistan is as the crossroad of the near-east, far-east and south-east Asia, and thus the crossroad of literally of dozens of language families...

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Kyrgyzstan!

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Finland!

Known for being the happiest country in the world and for its saunas, Finland isn't particularly well known for its linguistic diversity. Yet the languages of Finland are some of the most impressive of any European country we've studied to date. Home to almost two dozen languages from three continents and nearly 20 different language families, no one can deny that Finland's linguistic diversity isn't impressive...

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Andorra!

A tiny principality nestled in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, Andorra is perhaps best known for its luxury ski resorts. The languages of Andorra, however, are not something it's famous for... though should be. Indeed, the languages of Andorra clearly reflect the isolated, but pan-European nature of the country, in a way unlike any other country in Europe, even remote, isolated ones!

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Cape Verde!

A country off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde is one of those tiny island nations we rarely think about, except when featured in popular media as a tourist destination. But little did you know, the languages of Cape Verde are a microcosm resulting from centuries of Portuguese rule... Indeed, prior to discovery of the archipelago in the 15th century, the islands were uninhabited. Over the last six centuries, steady streams of migration from various parts of the world have seen the languages of Cape Verde evolve in a rather unique manner from a linguistic point of view.

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Liechtenstein!

A tiny principality of less than 40,000 people, Liechtenstein is chiefly known for its (former) status as a tax haven, rather than its languages. Yet surprisingly, the languages of Liechtenstein are surprisingly diverse given its small size! Though only European languages are spoken there primarily, the country is home to dozens of their dialects as well as numerous other highly spoken global languages!

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Venezuela!

Best known for its large oil reserves and more recent currency crisis, Venezuela is not a country known for its linguistic diversity. Yet, the languages of Venezuela are more diverse than most other Latin American countries! Home to a combination of European, Asian and indigenous languages, many Venezuelans speak two languages (one at home, one at work/school) whilst others speak ancient languages such as Latin and Ancient Greek...

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Ecuador!

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!

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Grenada!

Most famous for its 1983 invasion by the US, the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada isn't known for its linguistic diversity. Yet for a country of a little more than 110,000, the languages of Grenada are more diverse than you'd think! A former French colony later captured by the British, the presence of these two colonial empires dramatically changed the languages spoken on the island, sadly exterminating the indigenous languages of the island but replacing them with creoles and European languages, not to mention others...

A post-Soviet state, trying to reposition itself as a tech and business hub, the languages of Latvia have been changed forever, as foreign entrepreneurs flock to the country. Not to mention the country's own natural linguistic diversity... With over a dozen major European languages spoken inside its borders by people from every inhabited continent, Latvia is also home to a few indigenous languages, which have varying levels of recognition from the Latvian government.
