You forgot Yiddish

I know Yiddish? XD

Technically, since you're fluent in German, you do know at least one word in Yiddish.

But do I know Yiddish when I know the word but I don't know that it's actually Yiddish? :V

Can I count ASL too? I can sign the alphabet and family, thank you, few other words...
But I won't count it, so..12

In most of them, I know only how to say 'hello"

[PT]

ASL is a language, so I'd say it counts, personally.

Well, if we're going off the vein of "as long as you know word X, whether you know that word X is actually a word in language Y doesn't matter", every semi-fluent English speaker should put down 30+ since we have non-derived loan words from over 30 languages that they should know the meaning of if they saw the word. ^^;

Would be the other way too then.
Like the word Kindergarden is used in English, so I would "know English" that way too XD

But.....you already know English

The reason why I think Yiddish is a bit different than what you describe above, is because if you (Kleene) ever encounter a person speaking Yiddish, for the most part, you'll probably understand most of what he says.

I do see your point, though. Either way, we can't vote anymore, so...
