: 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?

In Raiders he gets Sallah to find a translator for the headpiece of the staff of Ra (or Re). Seems strange that he doesn't know Egyptian Heiroglyphics, as much else as he knows, and expecially since he is an Archaeologist.
