The results are in for the Language Survey.  Among fluently spoken
languages, English is the most common language, followed by Spanish and
German.  However, apparently several people who responded to this survey
either can write fluent English but can't speak it worth a damn, or forgot
to mention that they spoke English.
Among languages spoken "a little", French was the most common (6), followed
by German.

The most common computer languages (besides POV (11+ people)) were C/C++ and
BASIC (8 each).

The greatest number of languages spoken by one person was 7.

The full results:
English: 18
Spanish: 4
German:  4

Polish:  2
Norwegian: 1
Finnish: 1
Estonian: 1
