Do any of you actually speak these languages, or is Google translate getting a massive increase in traffic?

I’ve only used the ones I can say - but I needed translate for spelling or script ( and I can’t count past 10 in thai or catalan) Needed traqnslate to read other’s replies though |

[I am terrible with languages but did learn to count to ten in Vietnamese maybe twelve years ago. Sadly I can only remember 3 - there’s a famous beer called 333 or Ba Ba Ba, and 7 - I met a formidable woman technical manager near Saigon called Madame Bay - Missus Seven]

I learnt Indonesian in high school for 2 or maybe 3 years. I remember only a little, which includes counting to ten. Unfortunately my pronunciation wasn’t very good and I’ve only just realised recently!
