In which country are the most languages spoken?

It's difficult to definitively say which country has the most languages spoken, as there are different ways to define and count languages.

Here are some factors that complicate the answer:

* Language vs. dialect: Is a dialect a separate language? Some languages have numerous dialects that may be considered separate languages by some.

* Official vs. unofficial: How many languages are officially recognized vs. spoken in everyday life but not formally recognized?

* Indigenous vs. non-indigenous: Should only indigenous languages be counted, or does the number of languages spoken include those brought by immigrants?

However, here are some contenders:

* Papua New Guinea is often cited as having the most languages, with over 800 recognized.

* India has over 22 official languages and hundreds of dialects.

* Indonesia has hundreds of languages, including the official language, Bahasa Indonesia.

Ultimately, it depends on how you define "language" and "spoken."
