I’m not sure if this will be enlightening or apropos of anything, but being a language junkie I figured I’d participate. Here is how James describes the rules:

And so I’ve decided to start a meme, asking those tagged to list every language that they have made some sort of concerted effort to learn, even if they didn’t get beyond the first lesson or so, or even if they are still learning it. No need to specify the degree of fluency in the blog post – if readers are curious how much Swahili you know, they can ask.

These rules cast a mighty wide net. Please keep this in mind as you consider my list:

1. Afrikaans
2. American Sign Language
3. Arabic
4. Aramaic/Syriac
5. Breton
6. Chinese
7. Dutch
8. Egyptian/Coptic
9. English (Old, Modern)
10. French
11. Gaelic
12. Georgian
13. German
14. Greek (Classical, Koine, Byzantine, Modern)
15. Hebrew (Biblical, Modern)
16. Hindi/Urdu
17. Hittite
18. Hurrian
19. Italian
20. Indonesian
