One. It's, uh, lingual. I can't programme, and I can't speak any other language. I know the smallest smattering of French and German, but I'm intending to learn Russian over the summer.

I know two different types of languages--two Indo-European and several Semitic. Within the Indo-European family, I know one West Germanic (English) and one Romance (French). Within the Semitic language family, I know one Eastern Semitic (Akkadian) and a few Northwest Semitic, including Hebrew, Aramaic, Ugaritic, Moabite, and Phoenician. Some of these are very scantily-attested languages, so "knowing" them means I can read the handful of existing inscriptions.

Pedantic? Me? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Just English. I know SOME Portuguese and a few words in both Spanish and French, but I would not call this "knowing" the language.

I know some computer language and some human languages. So, 2? Maybe, there are more, but it's hard to think of langauge types off hand.

May I divide computer programming languages into different types? Types like imperative, functional, assembly, and object oriented?

I'm still learning english. Does that count for one? I lived in Japan and as a child I could communicate with our housekeeper and I can speak some spanish, but I couldn't talk myself out of a wet paper bag!
