That is not due to any increase in the number of languages, but rather to our increased understanding of how many languages are actually spoken in areas that had previously been under-described.Much pioneering work in proving the languages of the world has been done by missionary(传教的) organizations(such as the Summer Institute of Linguistics)with an interest in translating the Christian Bible(圣经)．As of 1997, at least a portion of the Bible had been translated into 2，197 different languages, still a long way short of full coverage.The most extensive catalog(目录) of the world’s languages, generally taken to be as authoritative(权威的) as any, is that of the Ethnology(人类学) organization, whose detailed classified list currently includes 6，809 distinct languages.
