“According to linguistic researchers, there are at least 224 languages spoken by L.A. County residents. Within a generation, it is predicted that more than one third of all languages spoken on earth will be spoken in homes here. L.A. Has the most diverse population ever assembled in one place in human history.”
That’s why this is such a cool city, and anyone that says we don’t have any culture, hasn’t looked at all!!! This wonderful city has a feel all it’s own, definately a “culture”
I’ve been to Greece a time or two. The last time I went a young lady started talking to me, but I couldn’t understand a word she said. It was all Greek to me.
DISCLAIMER: I have never been outside of the USA. I just couldn’t resist that “joke.”
well considering papua nue guinie has a total of 800 languages i don’t belive the info is that acturate. (that number may include dialects though so i dunno)
Hate to break it to you, but L.A. is only number 2 on rthe multit cultural list. In a recent survay by Amnesty International, in conjunction with the American government, Torotno Has the greatest ratio of different cultures. Over 82% of Torontonians are not native canadian’s or caucasian. 50% are Oriental in background, 20% are South American 7% are African 5% are European (italian, Greek. French)
Vancouver is also quite multicultural, but more i tnhe sense that over half thier population is Japanese. This is becaujse of immigration from ww2
and don’t forget, Canada has montreal, the only OFFICIAL multilingual City in North America. I mean, even here, in Toronto, we need to put French lables on everything.
Al_Capone: and eskimos and native americans came from over the sea by the Bering detroit (if that exists in english). What’s the limit in time when you’re actually considered native from some place or another…
me and my wife to be want to move there. Its such a beatiful place although i hated montreal (must have been on the wrong side of town).
quebec was incredible i’ve never seen such a vivid example of old meats new.
it’ll be hard to move from cardiff tho i love this place too.
