How Many Languages Does Berlin Speak? Help Us Find Out.
Who We Are
The project “Berlin spricht!” is being developed by the General Linguistics workgroup at the Institute for German Language and Linguistics at Humboldt University of Berlin.
Our Goal
Berlin is home to people from over 180 countries. They speak many different languages, many of which are completely unknown outside their communities. We aim to make this linguistic diversity of Berlin visible.
To achieve this, we are developing an online portal. A map will display locations of language communities such as language cafés, cultural centers, etc. This way, speakers can find communities of their language in Berlin and connect with each other. Additionally, people can present their language and culture, making them more visible.
