Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web and print publication of
SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a
Christian linguistic service organization which studies lesser-known languages primarily to provide the speakers with
Bibles in their native language.The Ethnologue contains statistics for 6,912
languages in the 15th edition, released in
2005 (up from 6,809 in the 14th edition, released
2000) and gives the number of speakers, location, dialects, linguistic affiliations, availability of the
Bible, and so forth. It is currently the most comprehensive existing language inventory, along with the
Linguasphere Register. However, some information regarding more esoteric languages is quite dated.
