Curiosity Asia

It appears you’re curious as well.

Asia is characterised by mountains, islands, and jungles, which has allowed communities to isolate and develop languages without external influences. In Europe, most people speak the Indo-European languages, which include Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages. In Asia, the language spectrum is much wider and includes Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Dravidian, and Altaic languages.

In Indonesia alone, there is reported to be more than 700 different native languages.
