      Hey dustbinman and icecreamman – are you both related??
      Let’s see – I think the answer is 3 and a half.
      I speak English – as demonstrated here. Having grown up in Hong Kong, I speak Cantonese (one of the many chinese dialects that exist). This makes 2.
      I also speak two Indian dialects but not particularly well (Hindi and Sindhi) and was forced to learn French at school for 5 years. As I only have parital ability in these three languages, they should only count as half a language, bringing us up to a grand total of 3.5.
