: We were watching YIJ's Masks of Evil and were struck by Indy's claims he spoke 27 languages. We could list:

: 1. French
: 2. German
: 3. Latin (Spring Break Adventure)
: 4. Classical Greek (Mata Hari story)
: 5. Sign Lanuage (Masks of Evil)
: 6. Turkish (Daredevils of the Desert)
: 7. Arabic (D of D)
: 8. Spanish (SBA)
: 9. Russian (Adventures in the Secret Service)
: 10. Italian (Tales of Innocence
: 11. At least one African language (Oganga:GATOL)

: And we know he Doesn't speak Icelandic (Masks of Evil) and Ubangi (Oganga). I know Indy speaks Chinese in TOD, but is that established in Young Indy anywhere? Also, I can remember the language duel with Vicki in the episode before Indy goes to war, but can't remember the languages involved.

: Anyone remember anymore?

Hey. Young Indy learns Chinese (I forget which dialect) in one of the young Young Indy episodes. In 1910ish, when Henry takes the family on his lecture tour, Indy and his mother meet a lama. My grasp of Buddhism isn't what it used to be, so I don't know for sure the whole storyline. I guess we'll have to wait for that episode to come out on tape. If I remember right, Indy gets real sick, and his mother nurses him back to health. Just my two cents.
