     Number of languages
             Printed and online resources differ considerably in estimating the
             number of languages
                     Encyclopedia Britannica (1911): app. 1,000 lang.
                     Ethnologue (7th ed., 1969): 4,493 languages
                     Ethnologue (16th ed., 2009): 6,909 languages
                     Ethnologue (21st ed., Simons – Fennig 2018): 7,097 languages
                     Ethnologue (22nd ed., Simons – Fennig 2019): 7,111 languages
                     Ethnologue (23rd ed., Simons – Fennig 2020): 7,117 languages
             – the increasing figures are not due to any increase in the number of
             languages, but rather due to steadily improving documentation
             efforts
