The world is at home in New York. Even from its beginnings, the city was a place of encounter for a great diversity of languages and cultures. In 1643, less than forty years after the first Europeans arrived, it was reported that 18 different languages were spoken among its 500 inhabitants. Today the city is home for more than 130 languages and none of them sounds foreign here.
