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.

<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>
