Well, the most diverse arent western countries to me. It are the third world countries. Look at the rankings, tanzania, congo, papoa new guinea. It all consist of different tribes that arent fully "modernized". All these tribes have a different languages, habits and cultural change. Imo those countries are the most diverse in the world, nothing can beat them Well on a level of consideration on the correlation between the individual groups in the unmodernized world... there isn't much differnation between indigenous ceremonies, rituals, beliefs. it's like comparing a mud hut to another mud hut and compare notes on straw roof thatching techniques. I don't mean sound conceding, I am saying that it's shades of a similar color, shades of a similar religion. It's like comparing Tyrolean to other Germans which I mentioned before. In my personal experience, I haven't been to a tropical or subtropical region, but the experiences of a friend who lived half of his last 20 years in Australia and half of his time was in the Solomon Islands. He did went to Papua New Guinea too, and it was similar to Solomon Islands. |

Well Austrian... Anyway, I forgot to add that my friend learnt to spoke.. I think 4 or 5 different dialects. So it's not like he was standoffish and aloof from the locals. He was working with medical and educational programs in there. |

Not really. Lebanon isn't a country populated by people who immigrated there in the past 250 years. I ment percentage of foreigners. Libanon has 70% of foreigners, and is by far the highest. Some dutchies complain about the netherlands while we have only 26% of foreigners. 26% is a lot. |

India, near 1000 languages, 15-25 religions, etc, etc The languages...you got me there  Could you please tell me which religions are there though? I can only think of 10. India doesn't match up to culture though. You'd have your mind blown at how many different cultures and ethnicity are in America. India, only place on planet earth where languages change after every 6 kilometers. -_- (and they call it diversity even though it's actually a lack of a common language) |

Its called Hindi and is basically the same spoken language as Urdu. Written is much different. Most people speak Hindi in India but speak their native language when they dont need to speak Hindi (Workplace, formal affairs). I suppose think of it as an immigrant community in the USA knowing how to speak Italian and English, they speak Italian at home and to their family and friends, but English at work and formal affairs. At least thats what Im pretty sure occurs. |

As our entire family speaks Urdu. |

At least thats what Im pretty sure occurs. Cant disagree more actually Hindi for india is not the same as english for the us. In india there are a lot of differences between what they speak in different places. In the us, they speak english in texas, in carolina, in new york and basically everywhere. For an example, if an american from virginia wants to visit washington, he doesnt have problems with the language. If i want to visit limburg, i cant understand a word theyre saying, therefore they created "dutch" |

If by chance you get to hear an American southerner you're going to understand next to nothing (I don't have any personal experience, but I've heard things) so its not the same language everywhere. |

They physically can't understand a word they're saying. Plus, I was referring to immigrant communities, not everyday Americans. |

Look at brabants vs limburgs for an example (english is "shut up") bekijk het maar - sop 't dich mér op This differs more than texan and new yorkish while these places are 5km from eachother |
