German to English only, but I have decent knowledge of attribution of Ottoman coins. (might not be of too much help)

I can translate Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.
Also some French and German, but I suspect that other members are more fluent in those languages.

I do art and science fluenty, but I still have trouble with English as I am a native Long Islander. Have take 2nd year Russian five times and still can't say much more than ordering a beer! However, I do have contacts who can read Old Persian and some dead Central Asian languages. Speaking of which, they recently found the first Sogdian sword in Central Asia. How do they know? It has a Sogdian inscription!
I would also like to make the point that being able to read/speak a current language is not the same as being able to read old or specialized texts/inscriptions. So care must be taken.

Oh, and Hubby speaks Cockney rhyming slang.

Polish of course! I can handle some other languages too, but can't take responsibility for my skills

, so let's stay at Polish. If someone will need help, go on and ask me!

I'll take care of Russian and Eastern Slavic languages (Cyrillic based). Can also read arabic characters, but no language skills there.

Italian, here. Weak French, Spanish and Latin, too.

Marc · 4th May 2005, 01:09 AM

Spanish and Catalan, from almost all times, and English.
In an emergency, I could make myself understood in French, Italian and Portugese, but not much beyond the always useful "Don't shoot please!". Have good friends native Italian and French speakers, though.
