Answer 1

I can name over 50 languages without problems, but after that it gets more and more difficult to name another one. There are nearly 7000 languages alive (many die often). I'd like to learn a few, but I don't think I have the time and the patience to do it.

The record of languages spoken appears to be over a 100... held by an Englishman.

The Englishman was called Richard Burton it is said he spoke 25 fluently and another 15 dialects but understood about 210, some of them "dead" languages. - ian-hill, Sep 26, 2009

He died in 1980 so did not have SpanishDict or other modern aids to help him. He translated The Arabian Nights into English. - ian-hill, Sep 26, 2009

Pity you can't ask the English explorer Richard Burton. He died in 1890 and was maybe the greatest linguist of all time.
