Dan Everett brings us back in time to the Homo Erectus to share how language began and why it is the ultimate evolutionary tool to share knowledge. Dan Everett was born in Southern California. He completed an undergraduate degree in biblical studies from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and his Master’s and ScD in linguistics at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil. From 1977, he has regularly conducted research on the Pirahã language of Brazil. He has also conducted research on Tzeltal (Mexico), Selish (USA), Arawan (Brazil), Satere (Brazil), Wari’ (Brazil) among many others. He has published fourteen books and more than 110 articles and has lectured around the world on his research. He converted to Christianity at 17 years of age and was a committed, evangelical Christian until abandoning his faith due to lessons he learned from the Pirahãs (as discussed in Don’t sleep, there are snakes). His most recent books are Dark Matter of the Mind: The Culturally Articulated Unconscious (University of Chicago Press) and How Language Began: The Story of Humanity’s Greatest Invention (W.W. Norton/Liveright). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Adiel sheds light on the language policies of multiple African nations and shows us what is most effective. By focusing on South Africa, he shows us what language policies must accomplish and how governments should proceed to enforce them. Adiel is a graduating senior in WBAIS who has completed the AP Research course. His research, centered on South African language policy and its implementation, explores the complex relationship between language and government in a multilingual Africa. Through a series of interviews, Adiel discovered weak spots in the language policy and what needs South Africans have in regards to it. His findings also show the need for more political will from the government to implement constitutional provisions on language in order to achieve the goals of an ambitious language policy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

We compare some of the most popular languages in the world, what are the odds and probability of speaking certain language, which language has the most alphabets. Which language has the most words? How many words does English, Spanish, Arabic or Hindi have? What is the most difficult language to learn? What are the major languages of the world? We visualize the animated scale of alphabets, characters and words.

Disclaimer:
Only words of languages with over 20 million speakers are included otherwise the video would get too long. The only exceptions are the top 5. Thus apologies if your language is not included.
Only Alphabets with a usage of above 50 million, according to World Atlas, are included, with some exceptions. Video makes no distinction between speech, dialect and literacy.
Number referenced for words tend to be the largest dictionary that can be found online. Dictionary referenced in video. There may be bigger dictionaries though.
Usage or number of words may be outdated, but are often after 2010. More info in references.
There is difficulty researching between different formal definition of letters, diacritics and circumflexes, whichever probability and number given for the Alphabets are stated in the sources. There may be unintentional mistake, kindly comment if spotted.

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world — and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language — from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian — that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. “The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is,” Boroditsky says. “Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000.”
