There are 6800 languages and dialects in the world. Of these, only 2200 have a written component, the rest are only spoken.

According to the number of people that speak a language, Chinese is the number one language in the world with 1093 million speakers. This is followed by English (450 million speakers), Hindi is in third place (367 million). Spanish is in fourth place with 352 million people. Fifth and sixth place are Russian and Arabic respectively.

In the census of the year 2000, 47 million people that live in the U.S. do not speak English as their first language. Of these, the majority, over 28 million people, are Spanish speakers, followed by 2 million people that speak Chinese and 1.6 million that speak French.

All these Spanish speakers need software and books in Spanish.
