Default How many languages are you basically fluent in?

Please note: I'm posting this in the Personal Effectiveness forum deliberately. I believe your knowledge of languages influences, and is influenced in turn by, your own personal effectiveness in learning new things.

The poll is not asking about progamming languages--so people who speak Lisp don't count. People who speak with a lisp do count, though.

I'm talking about the standard overarcing language--not various dialects, unless they are so extreme they are not mutually intelligible.

So American Engish and Canadian Engish would count as one language "English". (We all know that we Canadians have much better accents, though.)

Feel free to include fictional languages like Quenya from Lord of the Rings and Klingon from Star Trek.

Myself, I'm only basically fluent in English. I'm working on studying my family's second language--Japanese (日本語).

日本語がすきです。
