There are between 6000 and 7000 languages in the world - spoken by six billion people divided into 189 independent states!...It is amazing. I have come into contact with just some of these languages, and they have become my passion.
Many languages have 50,000 words or more, but individual speakers normally know and use only a fraction of the total vocabulary: in everyday conversation people use the same few hundred words. I would like to use my translation ability to transmit in different languages those words that are left behind. |
