In Ontario it's likely the languages they were offered included Dene,
Cree, Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Russian and something from the horn of
Africa. You could postulate quite a few if a linguistically gifted child
with multilingual parents had grown up in multiple countries, or if you
got to include multiple romance languages but I too would have called
bullshit on those respondents.<br><br>

<dd>I happened to find this today. It's obviously the results of a survey
of not what languages grade 11 (16-17 year old) boys can speak and read
but of what languages they think it's funny to claim fluency in on a
survey. I wish they'd repeat the survey so I can find out if six
years later more or fewer grade ten boys think it would be cool to speak
Klingon.<br><br>
