Seemingly many languages, but it's still surprisingly a small number. Just to think that I will not learn most of the languages spoken, or once spoken, in the world.... That tells me that the world of languages will remain largely unknown to me, no matter how comprehensive Compri tries to be. That is, in fact, a liberating thought.
