In formal language theory within theoretical computer science, an infinite word is an infinite-length sequence (specifically, an ω-length sequence) of symbols, and an ω-language is a set of infinite words.
Finnish, as an agglutinative language, can produce an infinite number of words.
The longest published word in the language is pinakanakakapagngitngitngitngitang-pagsisinungasinungalingan, with 59 letters. This compound word means "to keep making up a lie that causes the most extreme anger while pretending you are not."
Omega (uppercase Ω, lowercase ω) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek numeric system, it has a value of 800.
Natural language, likewise, is infinite, since there is no longest sentence. Recursive merge may expand a bounded range to an unbounded range of output structures, but no finite set of expressions, however large, can reach unboundedness by combining finitely many finite constructions.
It's official! English is an official language in 57 countries in the world, as well as the official and native language of four others. Among these 57 countries, English is also a primary language in 20. This ought to give you an idea of how English became the universal language.
In formal language theory within theoretical computer science, an infinite word is an infinite-length sequence (specifically, an ω-length sequence) of symbols, and an ω-language is a set of infinite words.
The Absolute Infinite (symbol: Ω) is an extension of the idea of infinity proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor. It can be thought of as a number that is bigger than any other conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite.
Ω = 0.567143290409783872999968662210... (sequence A030178 in the OEIS).
According to Ethnologue, there are currently 7,117 languages spoken around the world.
While many believe that the number of languages in the world is approximately 6500, there are 7106 living languages.
Arabic has over 12 million distinct words. To put this into context, the Oxford English Dictionary includes just over 170,000 words.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. In most English dictionaries, the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest one you are going to find at a whopping 45 letters long. This word refers to a lung disease caused by silica dust.
The number 1000000000000000000000000 is called a quintillion. In the long scale system of naming numbers, a quintillion is equal to 10^18 or a million billion. In the short scale system, which is commonly used in the United States, a quintillion is equal to 10^15 or a billion billion.
There is no biggest, last number … except infinity. Except infinity isn't a number. But some infinities are literally bigger than others.
With this definition, there is nothing (meaning: no real numbers) larger than infinity.
/ʊ/is a high, back, lax vowel. To make it, your tongue should be lifted high in the mouth (slightly lower than /u/), and shifted toward the back. Keep your lips relaxed and slightly open. Then, vibrate your vocal cords as you push air out of your mouth.
Well, I pronounce it the way that I have heard it most often which in English is “ps-ai” (in German it would be “ps-ee”).
Those who know 1,000 to 3,000 words can carry on everyday conversations. Knowing 4,000 to 10,000 words makes people advanced language users while knowing more than 10,000 words puts them at the fluent or native-speaker levels.
Some linguists believe that 800 words are enough to hold a basic conversation. However, your vocabulary should be over 8,000 words if you want to speak a language as well as a native speaker.
