how many languages have you studied, please?


Well, classes I've been in have included Syriac, Old Norse, Swahili, and Ancient Egyptian.

I have books on Somali, Shona, Bidyara (of Queensland), Proto-Afroasiatic, Burmese, and Chechen inter alia.

On another forum I recently cited pronominal paradigms from Cheyenne and Brahui -- sheer boasting, of course.

In short I'm a dilettante, a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.
