HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the looks of your spelling or lack there of, you should go buy yourself a dictionary and during your bored time, when not looking up how to spell a word, you can count the words in the dictionary.  :)

According to Oxford/ Wikipedia. There is no single sensible answer to this question.

 

Someone did say, 988968, but it is in question.

The problem is the English language has adopted words from every language or close to it. Making it one of the largest languages in the world. When you speak, you are not speaking true English, in part it's Spanish, French, German, Native American, etc...

Read the dictionary, look at the word, beside it will tell you where the word comes from. Latin, Greek, German, etc...

I did read months ago there were over 500,000. words. Who knows? I don't.
