Can you speak more than one language?

My Latin is a bit rusty since I left school 50 years ago, and I've never really had chance to use it since. I suppose now I could talk to a Centurion rather than ask for an autograph.

Like a lot on here, I spook pissable fronche, and have no problems in reading or writing the language. When my wife died in the Dordogne 8 years ago, the official forms I had to fill in were well within my knowledge of the language, but I needed the help of the insurance company's native French speaker to finally sort things out before we could leave. Apparently, the accent around there is similar to Geordie, and the gite owner, who has lived there for over 20 years, was struggling.

I can also get by with either dos cuba libres or dos cafes con leche por favor when in Spanish speaking areas And, of course, Que?
 
I used to be able to recite half of the mass in Latin as I was an alter boy but now only snippets remain in my Hippocampus.Not much call for it in the foothills of Rozzendorf.

Do programming languages count? C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, BASIC, Perl, Python, Pascal, Delphi, R, TCL, F#, T-SQL, PHP, MATLAB, TypeScript, PowerShell... I'm sure I missed a couple.

That's the word I've been missing. Cheers mate.
