The small villages in the center of Wales still have a fair number of Welsh speaking monoglots.

Thanks for the new word (monoglot)! I'll have fun with it.

In my circle, we often use the words monoglot and polyglot. My company was sending me to multiple foreign countries. That afforded opportunities develop limited proficiency in French, German, Welsh and Turkish. I was only scheduled for 3 days in Italy, so hacked Spanish was adequate. I'll add Polish if there is a clear possiblity that the U.S. troops in Germany will be relocated there. That is going to be a stretch :-)
