RE: Switzerland: One country, four languages, many dialects (5+ minutes read)
That was a beautiful diversion from the landscapes and fauna pictures. Brilliant blog post. Reading this, I couldn't help but draw lines with the lingual diversity of my country, Nigeria, and the challenge of maintaining a national character with it. Of course four is easier to manage than five hundred, but we fail still to contain national character between the 3 major ethnic groups (and languages). I enjoyed your article and I look to READ more in the future 😉
Thank you for your kind and motivating words!
I find it very interesting to compare different countries and cultures. 500 languages in Nigeria, that's indeed very impressive! I guess quite a few of them must have no more than a few hundred speakers. Hopefully your country will be able to preserve this cultural diversity, and thrive on it.
And yes, I understood your hint... I will really try to write more in-depth articles in the near future!
