Quick Q.: What were the 18 languages Wilfrid supposedly spoke? Sources?
#2
I never thought of looking up his obituary in The Times!
I attach it here, from the edition of 22/03/1930. Second column, from top left.

It says that he had a "working knowledge of almost 20 languages", which sounds like a repetition of something the writer had heard.
