Sorry Ms. Lou. I can't name the all. If I did, there would be at least 6,912 specific (emphasis on "specific" and by specific I man different dialects of a language)languages in total.
Asia is the largest country so it must have a large amount of languages. That is all I know.

P.S. I found this information while I was searching for something. Then I saw a name of a book. I clicked on the highlighted title and saw a short summary of it and here is some of the info.
Indonesia has 600 dialects and 415 dialects are spoken in India. About 100 dialects are spoken in the Philippines.
This is all I have for the Asian languages.
P.S.My last comment: by 6,912 specific dialects/languages, I mean in total. The whole world.
