Thanks for the catch, Virginia. So much for relying on memory...

Sign Language
There is no single, universal sign language any more than there is a single, universal, spoken one. In fact, American Sign Language is much more similar to French Sign Language than it is to British Sign Language. So if one were to count sign languages, they could take up many spots.

I had thought originally that we were sticking to languages for which we had canon-evidence that Clark knew. If we're going into the realm of speculations, how about Yiddish? I'd love to hear Clark speak that language. And as much I would love to hear him speak Klingon (write that story, Michael!), I think he'd be more inclined to learn Vulcan.

Joy,

I was thinking in terms of canon evidence.

To clarify on Chinese, He can definitely order food from Beijing, so Mandarin is a definite. Where was his friend from in "Chi if Steel"?

Also, I think it's safe to assume he can speak the two languages of the warring countries in "Sex, Lies and Photographs," (I would consider any time he has direct contact with an official canonical) but I don't remember what they were (to be clear, I think they were both fictional).

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)
