How many tongues do people speak?
Remarks about the translation
The question in Tagalog should be written as "Ilan ang dila ng tao?"

I translated the question as is, although depending on context, it may also mean "How many tongues does the person have?" or "How many languages do the people [does the person] have?"

Esto suena raro en español, casi como si dijéramos "¿Cuántas lenguas hablan los seres humanos?" Para traducir "people" es mejor decir "la gente".

Y date cuenta de que:

-Utilizo un signo de interrogación al empezar la frase
-Acentúo el pronombre interrogativo "cuántas"
-Invierto el orden del sujeto y el verbo para sonar más natural.
