So far there’s Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Lingala, Low German, Mongolian, Portuguese, Pulaar, Russian, Sardinian, Serbian, Spanish, Swabian (I know, it’s not a language per se), Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, Tuvan (?), Ukrainian, Vonlenska/Hopelandic, Welsh, and West Flemish.

To be continued.

Maybe there’s too much of the blatantly obvious (Björk’s first band, Huun-Huur-Tu, Jacques Dutronc, Tarkan, Tenores di Bitti…). But it’s all stuff I like a lot.
