Humanity had a “golden age” of linguistic diversity when tens of thousands of languages were spoken worldwide between 1,000 and 3,000 years.

Tens of thousands of languages may have existed between 1,000 and 3,000 years ago – and their decline began well before European colonial expansion

A new study by researchers at Rice and Baylor reveals that the brain maintains a geometric neural “map” for meaning that allows multilingual speakers to express themselves across languages.

Neuroscientists found that logical reasoning does not rely on the brain regions involved in language processing.

Makes you feel dead monolingual, doesn’t it

New research suggests that the more languages people speak, the younger their brains appear. Learning more languages, especially when younger, and achieving fluency in a second language also seem to slow brain aging. The research was presented at the recent Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026 by Dr Lucia Amoruso from the Basque […]
