Top 20 countries with most number of languages spoken

A surprise for me while searching for information about this was that it wasn't topped by India! I guess I just assumed by the sheer number of languages we had, that it would be unthinkable of any other country to have more. Oh was I wrong, and how!

India is actually at number 4 on the list!

No. 1 is actually a little difficult to swallow with 820 languages given the size of the nation, but then again you know what they say: "Appearances can be deceiving", "Don't judge a book by its cover", etc etc.

Without further ado, let's list them out.

Did that throw up any surprises for you? Comment below with languages you'd like to know more about.
