The only language I speak fluently is English.

I currently study Russian and speak/understand it alright for a person who's only taken about 4 months of the language. I also know Latin (though you can't actually speak it), from taking four years of it in high school. I still remember a few things in French from taking about five years of it back in elementary school and middle school.

I was at one point fully fluent in Spanish, though my skill has degenerated substantially even in the few years since leaving college. I also speak a bit of Arabic (also from college), as well as whatever Latin I can recall from high school. And English, of course.

And, since Xahar mentioned it, I know the Greek alphabet (modern as well as some of the archaic letters) and therefore can read Greek but cannot understand it.

In that case, I know the Cyrillic alphabet.

Same for me with regards to Hebrew.

And over 20 Latin-based alphabets, though that's easy; I learned Slovak today. Smiley

Is there any difference between that and other romanizations for Slavic languages, such as Czech or Croatian? I know for a fact that the Polish alphabet has many irregularities when compared against other non-Cyrillic Slavic alphabets.

I don't get Polish, but Slovak is very much a romanized Russian script, with influences from Czech.

Bulgarian, English and German (though it's rather rusty). I also understand Macedonian,Russian and Serbian to some extenxt but can't speak them - which isn't a great achievement, as all Bulgarians understand Macedonian and most understand at least some Serbian.
