I can speak and write elementary Chinese (Mandarin, simplified).
I have a basic knowledge of many written languages, but specifically Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform, Maya glyphs, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Russian, French (six years of study), Spanish (four years of study), Italian (one year).
