Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Turkmenistan!

A country in Central Asia, Turkmenistan is a nation perhaps best known for not being much of a nation at all, instead being a loosely united collection of nomadic tribes. In part due to this nomadic nature, the languages of Turkmenistan are immensely diverse. That, coupled with Turkmenistan's long history of being a part of many different empires, has only added to the country's linguistic diversity making it a truly unique case on the global scale.

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Azerbaijan!

A small country located on the border of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan's best claim to fame is perhaps the Burning Mountain that's been on fire for at least the last 65 years.

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.

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Qatar!

A tiny oil-rich nation on the northwestern Arabian Peninsular, the last time you thought about Qatar was probably to do with their hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The languages of Qatar are certainly something you've never thought of. Yet despite their small size, both in terms of size and population, numerous human rights and corruption allegations, Qatar is arguably one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the Middle East. And that says something! Indeed, some of the languages spoken in the country are universal, spoken by hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people worldwide. Others, only have a few million spread across the Middle East. Some, are even unique to the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Official Lang...

15 Coolest Languages to Boost Your Street Cred!

Last week, we looked at the weirdest languages to have ever been spoken, from the perspective of an English speaker. This got me thinking: what are the coolest languages you can speak? Whilst there are several different ways of defining "cool", for the purposes of this article, we are defining "cool" as either nice to listen to or, as having some unique quality that makes it so much cooler than other languages!
