Amongst the thousands of languages spoken across the world, here are just eighty. How many can you distinguish between?

Thanks reminds me of this young guy that I worked with back in the early 1990’s.

He said “You know when you’re in an elevator with a group of Japanese and they are all talking, in Japanese ? “And you think they are talking about you ?”

“They Are”

This young guy, very very smart All-American kid, spoke Japanese fluently.

He calmly waited until they exited the elevator and replied back to their utter amazement.

I got 650, but that was hard! Both my Bangla samples contained the world Bangla or I would have done a lot worse! Also, there was one sample with an African accent speaking French. I heard the African so I thought African, but then I understood all the words, and they were French. Tricky!

The Canadian PM s speaking English: “I don’t know — a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof ... it’s a proof! A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof it’s because it’s proven.”

A friend of a friend was walking down the street in Tokyo and a gaggle of Japanese gals was behind him wondering if everything on him was proportional to his gajin height, he turned around and assured them in his excellent Japanese that it was indeed.

They all screamed!

[knarf]

I speak two languages fluently ...

English and profanity.

550

[luvbach1]

450. German easiest.

[luvbach1]

Portuguese was a surprise. Sounds much different than Spanish

[reg45]

850 for me. And me, with only a little French and German from fifty years ago.

[ChildOfThe60s]

LOL

[bitterohiogunclinger]

Yes it does. Sounds like a cross between German and Italian to my ears.

And don’t forget about those “Free websites” like “My clean PC” and others that provide automatic backups.

[Zeneta]

[MrChips]

No Latin? Sigh.

[null and void]

No Klingon either...

[posterchild]

I failed. I know at least 20 words in over 8 languages and I cannot break 350 in any trial.
