Well I'm more of a conscripter than conlanger, but learning egyptian
hieroglyphs left me with a "working knowledge" of ancient egyptian.
I can be polite (IE tourist level) in Mandarin Chinese, Hindi,
Irish and Japanese.
I'm more fluent in dialects of english (some of which are recognised
as separate languages); British, Southern States American, General American,
Mid-Ulster, Ulster-Scots, Scots, Jamaican, and Tok Pisin.

Baba
