Subject:Re: English a Mongrel/polyglot From:Chris Hulin <chrish -at- CTL -dot- COM -dot- CY> Date:Thu, 26 Sep 1996 09:52:16 +0000
I think a polyglot can be used of a person who speaks many languages,
or possibly of a country or group of people where many languages are
spoken. I don't think it can be applied to a language. There must be
a poly-something-else word for that.
