If we were in the village with 1000 people...

it would be with

584 Asians
123 Africans
95 Eastern and Western Europeans
84 South Americans
55 Russians (included Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, etc.)
52 North Americans
and 6 Australians and New
Zealanders

It is difficult to communicate each other well,

165 speak Chinese
86 speak English
83 speak Hindu and Urdu
64 speak Spanish
58 speak Russian
37 speak Arabic

then, finally, it is mentioned just a half of the languages in the village.

There are more than 200 languages more in order of the number, Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, German, French etc.

The Olympics or World Cup Games always recall me this ridicule even I knew the reality of "Many things would disappear if we had 100 people in the world".
