China has 56 ethnic groups, and countries with more than 50 Asian ethnic groups include Indian, Philippine and Indonesian. It is said that Indonesia has 150 ethnic groups. The country with the largest number of nationalities in the world is Nigeria, but there are 250 nationalities in the population of more than 80 million, accounting for 1/8 of the total number of nationalities in the world.

So, how many nationalities are there in the world? According to incomplete statistics, there are about 2000 nationalities in the world.

The population of all ethnic groups in the world varies greatly, from one billion to only a few dozen. There are seven ethnic groups with a population of over 654.38 billion: Han, American, Bangladeshi, Russian, Japanese, Brazilian and Indian. There are 60 ethnic groups with a population of100000 to100000, 202 ethnic groups with a population of100000 and 92 ethnic groups with a population of100000.

The total number of ethnic groups in Asia exceeds 1000, accounting for about half of the total number of ethnic groups in the world, and it is the continent with the most ethnic groups. There are about 170 ethnic groups in Europe, and there are about 20 single-ethnic countries.

Now there are 565 1 languages in the world. Among these languages, about 1400 languages are not recognized as independent languages or are dying out. For example, there are 250 languages in Australia that are spoken by only over 40,000 people, and these Australian aborigines have to use English. For a long time, these languages have gradually declined. There are many endangered languages in America, too. For example, North American Indians have 170 languages, many of which are now only used by a small number of people. Their descendants no longer know the language of their ancestors, but are used to using English. ?

Many common languages have gradually become the communicative languages of other nationalities or countries and become second languages. For example, Africa is undergoing such a change: there, individual languages have become the communication tools of many tribes and nationalities, and they have increasingly replaced the deep-rooted colonial languages here. In addition, due to the war, people are forced to hide in the mountains, forests or concentrated in a certain area, and the foundation of individual language families is greatly reduced, and will eventually decline. More than 1 165438 in New Guinea, Papua New Guinea and West Irian. There are 280 Niger and Benue rivers in West Africa. ?

Of the more than 4,200 recognized independent languages, only 500 have been well studied, while 1500 has hardly been studied.
