Probably at least 5000 although many have been lost in the last 200 years while new languages have developed. About a thousand of the world's languages are on the island of New Guinea

A heck of a lot. Especially if you start getting down into different dialects of the same language.

Estimates will vary quite a bit. Wikipedia cites a source giving 7330.
The fact that you can't always tell where a dialect stops being a dialect and starts being a separate language makes the number debateable.
