本文分析了目前国际上流行的几种有关世界诸语言的统计数据,并指出,在缺乏统一的语言和方言划分标准,在人类对不断变化的世界诸语言认识和描写不充分的情况下,是不可能作出完全“精确”的统计的。统计结果千差万别,我们只能努力得到接近实际的大概数字。重要的是抓紧时间对那些未知的语言进行记录和描写。
This article analyzes the statistics of several kinds of languages that are popular in the world at present and points out that in the absence of a unified criterion for the division of language and dialect, in the case of inadequate recognition and description of languages in a constantly changing world, It is impossible to make a complete “exact” statistics. Statistical results vary widely, and we can only work hard to get near-realistic figures. It is important to seize the time to record and describe unknown languages.
