Diversity

Africa! The continent is home to anywhere from 800 to 1,500 of the world’s languages.

More than 820 languages (or 12 percent of the world’s total) are spoken in Papua New Guinea giving it the title of most linguistically diverse country in the world. And, although English is its official language, only one to two percent of the population actually speak it.

The current currency in Spain since 2002 is the Euro.

Saudi Arabia. Most of their fresh water comes from desalinization plants or underground reservoirs.

In almost every category—culturally, economically, climatically, racially, linguistically, ethnically, and religiously, India is either the most diverse country in the world or the runner-up.

Siberia is home to approximately 25 percent of the world’s forests that span an area larger than the continental U.S., making Russia the largest producer of most of the world’s oxygen.

206. Weird, huh?
