How many languages can you count to a minimum of 10 in?
For me it's 4- English, Thai, Greek and Italian.
I won't include Laos because it's basically the same as Issan which is basically the same as Thai. A bit like counting to ten in American compared to England.
How many do you do?

English Thai Tagalog Cantonese French German Sometimes I have to redo the count, as I occasionally start counting in one language and finish in another.  |

The Klingon numbers are:
1 {wa'} 6 {jav}
2 {cha'} 7 {Soch}
3 {wej} 8 {chorgh}
4 {loS} 9 {Hut}
5 {vagh} 10 {wa'maH}
Chapter 1. THE SOUNDS OF KLINGON
It is difficult to describe accurately the sounds of the Klingon
language without using complex phonological and anatomical
terminology. What follows, therefore, is intended to give only
a guide to pronunciation. The best way to learn to pronounce
Klingon with no trace of a Terran or other accent is to become
friends with a group of Klingons and spend a great deal of
time socializing with them. Very few non-Klingons speak
Klingon without an accent.

Myself, well I can count to ten in Dutch, English, German, French, Thai, and scratching my head probably Latin and Greek, maybe Turkish. At times Double Dutch even without the help of a few beers.

Especially on bir, or even kirk bir  |
