Talk:Monoglottism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doesn't γλοσσα/γλωσσα(sp?) mean tongue? The artice Glottis says a glottis is the space between the vocal cords. My high school Greek is rusty but why glotta?
I would like to know to what extent one can call another a monoglot. I'm fluent in only one language, but I consider myself able to speak French and Spanish to a quite advanced standard. Does monoglottism cover those who only speak one language without speaking any others at all, and/or those who are fluent in only one but are near-fluent in others? 81.77.111.231 23:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
