A teenage girl from India who stands only 1ft 11in (58cm) tall, is the smallest girl in the world. Jyoti Amge, born in 1994, is shorter than a two-year-old child. She weighs only 11lb (5kg).

The facts are Amge has a type of dwarfism called achondroplasia and is at her tallest now. Jyoti has custom clothes and jewelry made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and utensils to eat. She goes to a regular school in Nagpur, central India, where she has her own small desk and chair. Her classmates treat her like any other student.
