Surprised? Yes, New York City is the most linguistically diverse city in the world, with over 600 languages spoken by its residents. As a global hub for immigration, it is home to communities from nearly every country, contributing to its rich cultural and linguistic landscape.

From Spanish and Chinese to Bengali and Haitian Creole, many languages thrive in different neighbourhoods.

Some rare and endangered languages, such as Garifuna and Seke, are also spoken by small communities in the city, making it a unique melting pot of global communication.
