Ethnologue: information on the world's living languages
An encyclopedic reference work cataloging all of the world's 6,912 known living languages. The purpose of the Ethnologue is to provide a comprehensive listing of the known living languages of the world. Information comes from numerous sources and is confirmed by consulting both reliable published sources and a network of field correspondents. This information is compiled under several specific categories and no effort is made to gather data beyond those categories. The Ethnologue is intended more as a catalog than as an encyclopedia. The information given here can be useful to linguists, translators, anthropologists, bilingual educators, government officials, aid workers, potential field investigators, missionaries, students, and others with language interests.
