 My father spoke at least 8 languages fluently and many others to a lesser
degree.

Oh I can only wish that one! A'm the only polyglot in the family. You
literally have to go beyond great-grandparents to get another language out
of anybody's mouth.

 The "Land o the Leal" is Heaven, I suspect from the context you think
otherwise! Or do dead languages go there?
Well Sandy, I really don't remember which language Jonny mentioned, since
I've been preparing and just got back from a big seminar for an advocacy
organization. I took "the land o the leal" from the last song on the
Celtiphile album "the land o the leal" where he's telling a person called
Jean about heaven. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Did I get the spellings or
the syntax right?
Ben
