Hello teachers. Could you help me?
What word should I put in the blank? (One word) I can't find the answer and I can't stop guessing!! Please help me!
"Many of us who speak only English tend to think of monolingualism as the normal state of affairs. We may also tend to think that there is one-to-one correspondence between language and nation. But worldwide there are close to 7000 languages- and only about 200 nations. That means a lot of multilingual nations! And because languages tend to coincide with ethnic groups, that means a lot of multi-ethnic nations as well. Of course, some are more multilingual and multi-ethinic than( ). At one extreme are countries like Japan, where the vast majority of people are ethnically Japanese and speak Japanese. At the other extreme are countries like India and Nigeria, each of which has about 400 languages and ethnicities within its borders."
Please help me!!
Thank you in advance.
