Jason Kottke started another music meme: how many languages are in your music collection? I can't resist trying to work that out, so I've spent some time flipping through my CDs, and come up with a total of about 21 (depending on how you count albums by artists who sing in more than one language):

UK:

• English (obviously)
• Scottish Gaelic
• Irish Gaelic

Scandinavian (or somewhere way up North):

• Swedish
• Finnish
• Icelandic
• Sami

Other European:

• French
• Italian
• Spanish
• Estonian
• Russian
• Bulgarian
• Hungarian

African:

• Swahili (Tanzania and Kenya)
• Either Lingala, Monokutuba or Kikongo (I don't know which language Papa Wemba uses on his albums)
• Bambara (Mali)
• Lugana (Uganda)

Asian:

• Tibetan
• Urdu
• Punjabi

Of course, it does help that I like World Music...
