Map originally posted on reddit<\/a><\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

The map above shows the number of official languages each country has. As you can see the range is huge, from countries such as the US<\/a> and Australia<\/a> who have no official languages (although English is obviously the most widely spoken in both) to Bolivia<\/a> with 37 (now actually 38).<\/p>\n

Please note that we did not create the map and that it is slightly out-of-date with the more up-to-date data below.<\/em><\/p>\n
