La France doit être l'un des rares pays au monde, oùles gens ne parlent qu'une langue
ceci "grâce" au jacobinisme qui a changé les langues "régionales" en patois voire dialecte, et qui depuis plus de 100 ans n'a eu cesse que de les éliminer
reste encore, dieu soit loué, le breton, le catalan, l'alsacien, l'occitan ( j'en oublie peut être) et j'attends viveent que ces langues reprennent leur statut, car sinon c'est une histoire, une civilisation, une concption de la vie, qui risque de mourir en même temps que la langue meurt!
et juste pour finir que les nombreuses langues de l'inde ne te fasse pas peur
par exemple
la population française ne représente que 3 des plus grandes villes indiennes, sans plus; donc c'est normal que dans un continent il y ait plus de langue que dans une grosse ville !
