+==Description==
+The Israeli population is linguistically and culturally diverse.
+*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language '''Hebrew'''] is the country's official language, and almost the entire population speaks it either as native speakers or proficiently as a second language. Its standard form, known as Modern Hebrew, is the main medium of life in Israel.
+*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic '''Arabic'''] is used mainly by Israel's Arab minority which comprises about one-fifth of the population. Arabic has a special status under Israeli law.
+*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language '''Russian'''] is spoken by about 20% of the Israeli population, mainly by the large immigrant population from the former Soviet Union.
+*'''English''' is a known foreign language by a significant proportion of the Israeli population as English is used widely in official logos and road signs alongside Hebrew and Arabic.
+*In addition, the 19th edition of Ethnologue lists '''36 languages and dialects''' spoken through Israel.
