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.

Others, only have a few million spread across the Middle East. Some, are even unique to the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Official Lang...

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Kuwait!

A tiny oil-rich monarchy in the Gulf, the only time you might have ever thought about Kuwait was when it was invaded by Iraq in 1999. Even avid travelers to the tiny emirate have never given much thought to the languages of Kuwait! Despite being a country of less than 4.3 million - roughly the same amount as the US state of Oregon - Kuwait is home to speakers of dozens of languages both large and small.

Your Ultimate Guide to The Languages of Texas!

Texas is known for many things. Among those things is how multicultural the state is, even if many in the state don't necessarily know it. Though most famous for speaking both English and Spanish, the languages of Texas are far more diverse than that. Indeed, Texas is home to speakers of some of the most spoken languages on the planet. But it's also home to endangered languages that only have a few thousand speakers at best and may not survive to the end of our lifetimes... (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Official Languages of Texas Much like the US itself, the Constitution of Texas doesn't any official language(s) of the state. However, in reality, the state has three official languages thanks to subsequent legislation: English Spanish ...
