Linguistic Diversity 👌 : What is linguistic diversity, characteristics & examples 🔥

What is linguistic diversity?
Linguistic diversity is understood to be the proportion of different languages ​​spoken within a given territory , which can be a country or a geographical region . In other words, a place where many languages ​​coexist will have greater linguistic diversity or linguistic richness than another where only one is spoken.

In the world there are linguistically very diverse regions , that is, in which many different languages ​​are spoken, and generally these are geographically very broad regions or very remote in relation to the great historical centers of power and commercial exchange.

This distribution is due to the fact that in the great empires the single language of the conquerors used to be imposed, and in regions of intense commercial and cultural exchange, lingua francas (common languages) emerged that ended up being imposed given their economic importance.

In fact, the regions with the greatest linguistic diversity, at the beginning of the 21st century, are Papua New Guinea (832 spoken languages), Indonesia (731), Nigeria (513), India (400), Mexico (295), Cameroon (286) , Australia (268) and Brazil (264), although the vast majority of them unfortunately have very few speakers today. According to UNESCO , of the 7000 languages ​​spoken on the planet, 50% are at near risk of disappearance.

Linguistic diversity tends to go hand in hand with cultural diversity , that is, with the coexistence of different cultures or cultural traditions in the same territory, and it is a trait that in general seeks to preserve as much as possible, so as not to impoverish the linguistic legacy of the inhabitants of a territory. The language is living history, after all.
