2 Comments on Interesting Facts About Houston..

60 "primary" languages?  I don't think I knew there were 60 languages in the world period!

Donna,

Half of the existing 6,700 languages in the world will die away in a century and another 2,000 languages will be endangered if no efforts are made to save them! Now that's crazy to even imagine!!!

Some languages have only a handful of natives or "locals" that speak
