Tiki-Tiki Has 250 Words? | Beyond Highbrow - Robert Lindsay
Repost from the old site. Forget it. Via Marilyn Vos Savant in Parade Magazine, we are told that Tiki-Tiki, otherwise known as Sranan Togo, a creole with 100,000 native speakers and many more second languages speakers on Suriname, has the smallest vocabulary of any known language - with only 250 words.

European Day of Languages 2019
Language diversity will be celebrated on the 26th of September. In Prague, you can take part in linguistic games in Campus Hybernská and Lucerna Gallery.
The Council of Europe declared the 26th of September the European Day of Languages in order to celebrate the diversity of languages. Linguistic diversity is rapidly decreasing, and disappearing as quickly as the much-discussed diversity of animal and plant species.
We currently know about 6,900 languages, about 500 of which are likely to disappear in the foreseeable future. It is said that every two weeks, one language disappears. Extreme predictions suggest that in 150 years, the only active languages in the world will be English, Spanish and Chinese.
Do you know Taki Taki?
English is believed to be the world's richest language, with 600,000 words. Czech has 300,000 words. The longest English word is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis with 45 letters, while the longest Czech word has 30 letters. Taki Taki, a language with only 340 words, has the smallest vocabulary. It is spoken in Suriname, a country on the north-eastern Atlantic coast of South America.
Languages are fascinating, which is the reason why linguists and language lovers are fighting to preserve as much linguistic diversity as possible. The promotion of linguistic diversity is also the objective of the European Day of Languages in Campus Hybernská and Lucerna Gallery.
