A comment on The State of the 7,168 Living Languages: 14% are dying.

Over 90% of the "7,168" languages they mention are slightly different dialects of common languages.

Arabic probably makes up 1/3 of those "7,168" languages.

I think the claim that there are "7,168" languages is a result of publish-or-perish.
