Language sets cultures apart. Every human group, large or small, has a language. In fact, there are more than 3,000 languages on Earth. Some are spoken by hundreds of millions of people. Some are spoken by only a few dozen people. More than 350 million people speak English as their native language. More than 830 million people speak some form of Chinese.
   Every language reflects the culture of the people who speak it. In Arabic, there are several hundred terms for camels. This is because camels have been an extremely important part of Arabian desert life. Think at some words for different parts of a car. Do you think all languages contain such words? If a culture has never’ used a thing, it probably will have no word for that thing.
Hew many people in the world speak Chinese?
选项 A、More than 300 million.
