How many languages IN ALL does Canada have?

This is a tricky question! There's no single, definitive answer to how many languages are spoken in Canada.

Here's why:

* Official Languages: Canada has two official languages: English and French.

* Indigenous Languages: There are over 60 Indigenous languages spoken in Canada, though many are endangered.

* Immigrant Languages: Canada is a very diverse country, with people speaking hundreds of languages from around the world.

So, there's no simple number to give. It depends on how you define "language" and what you're trying to measure.

Some ways to think about it:

* Official: 2 (English and French)

* Indigenous: Over 60 (though many are endangered)

* Total Spoken: Hundreds, with some estimates suggesting over 200 languages are spoken actively.

Ultimately, Canada is a country with a rich linguistic landscape, and the number of languages spoken reflects its diverse population.
