Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web-based publication that contains statistics for 7,469 languages and dialects in its 18th edition, which was released in 2015. Of these, 7,102 are listed as living and 367 are listed as extinct Up until the 16th edition in 2009, the publication was a printed volume. Ethnologue provides information on the number of speakers, location, dialects, linguistic affiliations, availability of the Bible in each language and dialect described, and an estimate of language viability using the Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS).
Ethnologue is published by SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a Christianlinguistic service organization based in Dallas, Texas. The organization studies numerous minority languages in order to facilitate language development and work with the speakers of such language communities in translating portions of the Bible into their language.
We're SIL, a global, faith-based nonprofit that works with local communities around the world to develop language solutions that expand possibilities for a better life.
As of 2020, we are involved in approximately 1,350 active language projects in 104 countries. These projects impact more than 1.1 billion people within 1,600 local communities. SIL’s work brings together more than 4,300 staff from 89 countries who work alongside thousands more local partners and community volunteers worldwide. Our services are available without regard to religious belief, political ideology, gender, race or ethnic background.
