ChatGPT is capable of supporting multiple languages. The number of languages supported depends on the model and the training data it was trained on.
The quality and accuracy of the data depend on the training data. If the training data is inaccurate or not proper, you can’t expect better results. ChatGPT model can generate text in multiple languages and can able to perform your desired operation in your mother tongue.
According to Ethnologue, there are currently more than 7117 living languages spoken in the world. This includes both the language spoken by millions of people as well as the smaller endangered language spoken by few people or communities.
I am curious to know whether ChatGPT supports all living languages of the world. I even ask whether it knows all the living languages of the world. Here is the response.

Out of more than 7000 living languages out there, ChatGPT supports only 106 languages. Almost no language model would know all living languages as the number of languages spoken worldwide is very large and constantly changing.
Most languages are not spoken widely and there may not be enough data available to train a language model on it.
Does ChatGPT support Multiple Languages?
ChatGPT supports multiple languages, you can even translate, and summarize information from one language to another language. This will solve language problem people are facing across the world. Developers can build products on the top of ChatGPT API that solves language problem people are facing across the world. This could be life-changing
Can ChatGPT create new languages?
The development of a language involves a complex set of social, cultural, and linguistic factors that go beyond the training language models. Typically language would be developed over a long period of time through the natural process of linguistic evaluations and cultural interactions. Even though for the funny purpose you can able to generate a language using ChatGPT that lacks depth and no context.
Which language do ChatGPT experts in?
Without a doubt, ChatGPT is an expert in English when compared with any other language. As a large amount of dataset and public data are largely available for English. It is far more easier to train a language model in English than in any other language. To make a language model expert in a language, the quality of the dataset really matters. As ChatGPT is trained on a large corpus of the English language with a high degree of accuracy and fluency, it will make ChatGPT understand and generate a human-like English language.
Apart from English, ChatGPT can generate human-like text in other languages including Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and many others.
