Check out Ethnologue for a comprehensive cataloguing of the world's known living languages -- almost seven thousand of them! From Senegal's 36 tongues to China's 235, the site breaks down languages by size, family and country. Fascinating fact from the site: "95% of languages are spoken by only 6% of the world's people." Wow.
