Last week, we mentioned that a buddy had written us to remind us that “Gospel Recordings had 17,000 recordings online.” We apologize for not checking that fact a bit closer. The real number is closer to 6000. Gospel Recordings believes that 17,000 is approximately the number of languages and dialects that can be recorded when it’s all said and done. (Thanks Gospel Recordings, not only for reading Brigada, but also for having the ethics to advise us of this correction.)
That number must be for multiple recordings in a language since there are only approx. 6900 known languages spoken in the world today. If you want specifics check out these two links:
