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.
