Answer 2

However, there are a greater number of natural languages that exist in the world, from the ever ubiquitous English to more rarely spoken ones such as Njerep from Nigeria.

Nevertheless, it can be said that in the two type of languages: ambiguities in natural language necessitate the creation of programming languages for controlling a computer, and compared to the number of words in a natural language, the number of defined words in a programming language is very small.
