Wow, yours is impressive!
I merely studied French ...
Latin & Greek ...
then when I took a calligraphy course, Chinese - but that went
'in 1 ear & out the other';
I have no idea what I actually said while writing those bits
of calligraphy ;-)
Whenever I attempt to speak Spanish, or Italian, the French takes
over ?!?!?!
yet I can say hello, goodbye, please, thank you, how are you, in
those languages + German, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic ;-)
How about the rest of you on this list?

An anti-English troll- that's a new one for this list. :)
I can't say that I've studied every language in the world, but I did study
French, New Testament Greek and Ancient Hebrew. Guess what? They ALL have
weird rules, exceptions and strange words.
This would be due to the fact that languages are mostly used by humans who
can be a little bit creative.
I studied some rigidly conformist languages but they were rather dull. As
far as I know there is no equivalent for "I love you" in BASIC, FORTRAN or
C++
