I am an Indian
Government of India has given recognition to 15 languages which are spoken and written.These 15 have been embossed on the currency notes of India. Besides there are another 15 to 20 which are spoken but have no script for writing.
These are called tribal dialects.
It is very common to see many people in my country able to speak more than half a dozen languages.
My daughter can speak about 9 to 10 languages and she has great advantage with her clients while doing her insurance business.
