With 300 languages spoken by its population, Australia is the second most culturally diverse country in the world after Papua New Guinea. This fact has resulted in the adoption of multiculturalism as a policy to accommodate diversity and harmony in society. According to the 2016 census, there are 300 languages spoken in Australian homes. Among these are English, Mandarin, Cantonese Vietnamese, Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke), Acholi, Bari, Dinka, Twi (a major Ghanaian language, which should not be confused with one of the Dinka dialects spelled in the same way), Amharic, Collo, and so on.
