According to The Bible, it is believed that on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled the apostles to speak in multiple languages, allowing them to communicate with people from different regions who spoke different languages. The exact number of languages spoken on that day is not specified.
There are currently a number of 6,912 living languages spoken in the world to this day. There are a total of 165 indigenous languages around the world. Only eight are spoken by as many as 1,000 people. More languages are spoken in Queens, NY than in any other part of the world. Hope that helped.

The Crusaders mainly spoke Latin, French, and various local languages depending on the region they were in during the different Crusades. Latin was the language used for official documents and communication among the leaders, while French was commonly spoken by the higher nobility. Local languages were also used for day-to-day communication with non-Latin speakers.
During 1300 BC, several languages were spoken around the world, but some of the significant ones were Ancient Greek in Greece, Ancient Egyptian in Egypt, Hittite in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), and Sanskrit in the Indian subcontinent.
It is difficult to estimate because pidgins arise and die out quickly. They are also not standardized, so it's hard to classify them. There are about 100-500 actively used pidgins in the world, but every day this number shrinks.
On the day of Pentecost, there were many followers present who spoke many different languages. In a miracle, all at once all those present understand all the other languages, in their own tongues.

During Pentecost, as described in the Bible, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles in the form of fiery tongues, enabling them to speak in different languages. This event is considered the birth of the Christian Church and is celebrated as Pentecost by many Christians.
None that I know of believe that. The day of Pentecost is one of the annual Jewish festivals. On the first day of Pentecost following Christ's resurrection (IIRC Pentecost was 50 days after Passover: thus the name), the Bible says in Acts that the Holy Spirit entered the disciples as they prayed and they went out among the people and preached the Gospel in foreign languages that they did not know but were understood by the visitors to Jerusalem for the festival of Pentecost. This resulted in the first expansion of the Word to lands outside Judea, as those visitors returned home.What makes Pentecostals unique is their emphasis on this miracle and that it is expected that all real Christians can speak in other languages at the urging of the Holy Spirit. Some Pentecostal sects even go so far as to say you are not yet forgiven of your sins until you can manifest the miracle of speaking in unknown "angelic" languages.However the miracle of Pentecost as described in Acts involves no unknown or "angelic" languages, all the languages spoken were known human languages. In my opinion there is no need for any such repetition of this miracle, as we have educated translators to translate the Word to any language needed now.
