Did You Know?
PNG Speaks More Languages Than Any Other Country on Earth
Papua New Guinea is home to over 800 distinct native languages - more than any other country in the world, representing roughly 12% of all human languages on a landmass smaller than Texas. The same extraordinary isolation that kept these cultures and languages intact for thousands of years also kept the highland growing regions pristine, untouched by industrial agriculture, and perfectly suited for specialty coffee.
