Shouldn't this article move from "multilingual" to "polyglot": the article is about polyglots (people with the unusual ability of speaking dozens of languages) rather than multilingualism (the more widespread ability to speak two or more languages). Quite different from what is discussed at ]; this last article could be renamed ], since there is nothing much special in speaking two languages fluently as opposed to speaking more than one language fluently. Then, the '']'' title would be freed for an article on "true" bilingualism i.e. people who speak two languages (or more ???) equally fluently. ]

Georg Sauerwein (1831 - 1904) multlingual poet

Georg Julius Justus Sauerwein was born on 15. January 1831. His father worked as pastor in 0annover, Bodenstedt and Gronau in northern Germany. From 1843 to 1848 he went to the gymnasium (comprehensive secondary school) in Hannover.
It is said, that he could read, write and talk about 60 languages, at least the following
Latin, ancient Greek, New Greek, Hebrew , French, Italian, Spanish, Basque, Portuguese,English, Welsh, Erse(native Irish), Gaelic(native Scotish) , Dutch, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedisch, language of Lapland , Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Belarus , Ukrainian, Sorbian, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian, Albanian, Turkish, language of Azerbajian, Tschuwaschisch ( could not find english translation: a caucasian language) , Tamil, Kaschgarisch (spoken in Siberia , similar to the language of Uzbekistan), Kumykisch ( spoken in Siberia), Persian, Armenian. Georgian, Sanskrit, Romani (language of the gipsi), Hindustani, Kabylish, Ethiopian, Tigrisch ( another language of Ethiopia ),
Coptic, ancient Egyptian, Arabic, language of Madagascar, Malaysian, Samoan, Hawaian, different dialects of Chinese , Cornish, Aneitum ( language spoken on the New Hebrides), Manxish (language spoken on the isle of Man), translated from
"Das Sprachgenie Georg Sauerwein" by Hans Masalski Oldenburg 2003 ISBN 3-89621-157-9

I guess "Tschuwaschisch" is the Chuvash language.

Proposed merge with Hyperglot

Hyperpolyglot already redirects to Polyglotism, but the latter article doesn't contain much information on hyperpolyglots. Consider adding the relevant information to Polyglotism then changing this article to a redirect. Roches (talk) 05:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

This has been done. Roches (talk) 05:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
