According to Professor
Vyacheslav
Ivanov of UCLA, there are at least 224
identified languages in Los Angeles County. This does not include
differing dialects. Professor Ivanov estimates that publications are
locally produced in about 180 of these languages. Only 92 languages
have been specifically identified among students of the Los Angeles
Unified School District.
