Bona vespre, parla catala? Catalan will probably be a piece of cake for you, as you already know something like 7 languages! It is somewhat related to Provencal. There is a lot of dialect differences: Majorquin, Valenciana(whose speakers don't really consider themselves Catalan), Andorran etc. Plus Catalan is spoken in a small enclave in Sardinia, as the island was ruled by Catalans at one time. Have you seen the Catalans do the Sardana? It looks very much like Armenian circle dances, probably a result of the Greek presence in coastal Spain. Bon sort!

Aha! OK! Now THAT will be the reason some of the greek words end in os and dos. Now I can say that the latin heritage is questionable.

Oh dear. If I keep this up Garo will kill me, hw will hang me, draw me and quater me.

But enough of that. Iranyar, HOW did you come about knowing 7 languages? Both of my grandfathers knew about a million langagues between them (well, about 4 each) they were well travelled. Unfortunatley, they are not with us
