only 340 words?
my uncle john's bathroom reader calender claims that "The Taki language, spoken in parts of Guinea, consists of only 340 words". is there any truth to this?

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.
