A starting point: the language census

Current Bible4All records
8,151languages in the census

8,004with recorded coordinates

Counts describe supported members of the current language census, including historical and constructed languages. They do not measure Scripture availability.

A growing picture, with room for unknowns.

Our Scripture evidence collection is still small. A language without a record here may already have a Bible, Scripture portions or an active translation project.

How to read the evidence

Built on trust

Understanding begins with evidence.

01

Trace the source

See where a resource was reported and what the evidence actually supports.

02

Leave unknowns visible

Existence, coverage and permission to share are separate questions. Each deserves its own answer.

03

Respect every language

Language communities hold authority over their translations. Better information starts with listening.
