It would be interesting to know how many languages the average American knows.  One of the things that I always found disturbing is that even if an American takes a foreign language class, the American will rarely make the attempt to practice using the language.  \n\nThink about it, how many people do you know take Spanish?  Quite a few.  How many actually try to speak the language?  I am shocked when I am a manager or teacher, and I see a room of employees or students scared to speak a word of Spanish to a person that might be struggling.  I understand that there are many ethical and political questions whenever speaking a foreign language.  For goodness sake, we're the land of immigrants and we need to step up.\n\nYes, I am proud to say that I have made the attempt and have spoken both Norwegian and Spanish to native speakers.  I have even spoken the few words of German, Russian, and Korean that I know as well.  Please keep in mind, that the only languages I can truly speak are English, Spanish, and Norwegian.\n\nRather than concentrating on how many languages are learned, let's focus on actually applying our knowledge of the international community.  One world, one people.  We can communicate and come together.

It depends on how you separate languages from dialects.  There are many different counts, but the range is between 4000 and 8000.  A number of 6000 is probably about right for most purposes.  If there were 6 people in the world and each spoke 1000 languages, one person would live in the Americas, one person would live in Europe and Asia, two people would live in Africa, one person would live on all the islands of Asia and the Pacific, and one person would live on the island of New Guinea.\n\nEDIT:  Ethnologue is a good source for some regions of the world, but not so good for others.  The best thing to say about the "number" in Ethnologue is "Ethnologue lists 6,912 languages", but even Ethnologue does not claim to be exhaustive and does not claim that its number is accurate.  Indeed, for some varieties, Ethnologue lists only one language, where most linguists list two, and for some languages, Ethnologue lists multiple varieties as if they were different languages.
