More than 800 languages
are spoken in Papua New Guinea.

hard to imagine anyone being able to speak—or even understand—all of the 850-plus indigenous languages that are spoken in Papua New Guinea.
And in reality, most people don't. Many of the languages in the country—such as Nihali—are
only spoken and understood by a few thousand people in the world. Still, the
sheer number of languages that exist in Papua New Guinea, make it one of the most linguistically
diverse countries in the world.

Your dog knows when
someone isn't trustworthy.
You
may be able to tell when your furry BFF is thrilled to see you, but your dog
probably knows even more about you and other people than you do about them. Not

in PLoS
One.
