I am not a polygot. But I strive to attain a higher level of proficiency, so much the better.

Asian Languages known:

• Malayalam
• Bengali
• Hindi
• Japanese
• Malay (Indonesian)

I am not someone who would try to pass off as a cultured polyglot. I don’t think that I can claim to speak a language unless I am able to pronounce words well enough for native speakers to understand and unless it's idiomatic. Also, one need to have a simplistic understanding of the grammar/structure of the language.
