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.

I found this answer at the website below....I hope this helps....it certainly suprised me!\n\nLinguists estimate that there are anywhere from 4,000 to more than 10,000 distinct languages still spoken! Many linguists give a figure of 6,000-7,000, more or less following the lead of the reference work: (Ethnologue languages of the world).  The 14th edition came out in November 2000.\n\nHowever, many Sign languages (see entry SIGN LANGUAGES) have been omitted from these counts (the Ethnologue lists 103) — ((see the 2nd link below)).\n\nSo, the actual number of languages is much larger and could even be twice that high! \n\nWOW!\n:)\nPeace
