how many different languages are there? and how many dialects?
91986
I learned there are about 6000 human languages.\nNot counted: dead languages.\nThe number of dialects is hard to count, because the differences are too vague.When you guess five in each language then you find 30 thousend.

It depends on how you separate languages from dialects.  There are many different counts, but the range is between 4000 and 8000.  A number of 6000 is probably about right for most purposes.  If there were 6 people in the world and each spoke 1000 languages, one person would live in the Americas, one person would live in Europe and Asia, two people would live in Africa, one person would live on all the islands of Asia and the Pacific, and one person would live on the island of New Guinea.\n\nEDIT:  Ethnologue is a good source for some regions of the world, but not so good for others.  The best thing to say about the "number" in Ethnologue is "Ethnologue lists 6,912 languages", but even Ethnologue does not claim to be exhaustive and does not claim that its number is accurate.  Indeed, for some varieties, Ethnologue lists only one language, where most linguists list two, and for some languages, Ethnologue lists multiple varieties as if they were different languages.

there are 3,000 spoken in the world today not including dialects. Only 19 languages have over 50 million speakers.

There would probably be three official languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese.  I believe they are the most-spoken languages on the planet.  I could be wrong, though.

There are many...it is a language made of Sanskrit, Greek and Latin\n\nYou don't respect people in english...you call you to all...which is very bad

More than one language, if you use Fedora, it has this option for switching multi languages.

Lots of them, depending on which language you want to learn.

Over 230 by some counts, but many of those are inactive even though sites exist for them. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix shows all the languages that are currently available.\n\nMore useful is the list that sorts Wikipedias by the number of articles they have: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias\n\nThat list shows that there are 98 language editions of Wikipedia with at least 1000 articles and 147 with at least 100 articles.

The best lists range in number from 3000-8000.  Most linguists use 5000 or 6000 as rough estimates.  I personally prefer 6000 since I use that number in a little exercise in my linguistics classes.  If each of six people learned 1000 languages, one of them would live in the Americas, one of them would live in Europe and Asia, two of them would live in Africa, one of them would live on Australia and all the islands of Asia and the Pacific, and one of them would live on the island of New Guinea
