Best Answer

There are far more languages than countries in the world.

Some countries use the same language, or set of languages, as other countries.

e.g. UK, USA, Australia - English

France, Canada - French

Portugal, Brazil - Portugese.

Furthermore, in the continent of Africa alone, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of small indigenous tribes still existing today. Each of these tribes has their own tongue. Perhaps some of these dialects bear similarities to others, but being as wide-spread as it is, we can't even measure it accurately.

The country of India is home to probably a number of different languages which varies from simply "hundreds" to 1652, depending on which information you use.
