Languages that surrounds us 📖👄👂✌️
Latvia - country that i call homeland or as in Latvian "dzimtene"
If you want to learn some Latvian phrases or word - here I found great tool just for that
This image where depicted "Tree of languages", seemed to me fascinating. It reminded me of my project I did in childhood.
While ago when I were in high school - we were asked to create a personal family tree.
That was a fun but challenging task to gather such information. Of course, first people to which I turned was my parents and then grandparents. They could tell me just about nearest relatives - as far as grand-grand-grand - parents. The stories about all of the relatives to me were so interesting so I wanted to know more about my roots.
Sadly it was not possible because the only place where to find such information about ancestors would be church`s old archives. Old church in the parish was long gone with all valuable archives. Thanks a lot, WW2 - another chapter in lost history.
After my recollection of childhood, I look deeper in this topic about languages.
And I come across some interesting facts about languages of earthlings.
There will be some of them:
📘In the whole world, there are 7,099 languages that are spoken today.
📘Roughly a third of languages are now endangered, often with less than 1,000 speakers remaining.
📘Meanwhile, just 23 languages account for more than half the world’s population.
📘Nearly 2/3 of languages are from Africa and Asia.
📘86% of people use Asian or European languages

Can you tell me something about your language?
I know Azerbaijani(my mother tongue), Russian(my second mother tongue :)),Turkish it is very close to Azerbaijani and English....And I want to learn Spanish, Portuguese and Italian...just love this language family. But unfortunately don't have time :(
Azerbaijani alphabet to me looks very hard.
Do you really write from back-to-front?
If we are speaking about learning - this is very cool tool for that - https://www.duolingo.com/
As their slogan says - Learn a language for free. Forever. :)
No :D I think you talking about Arabic alphabet :) No, we write and read from left to right. Yeah, I know duolingo, even had their app...probably should go back to that app :) thanks for reminding me ^_^
Yeah, you right I meant Arabic.
You are welcome. :)
