I have been to the annual Medieval Festival of Horsens (in Denmark), and there were groups and other performers from at least Denmark, Germany, England and Italy, and among the visitors there were people from many other countries - plus all our own first and second generation immigrants who speak their own languages. It can't be less than a dozen languages.

Was in LaGrange a sort of small town outside of Chicago today and ate at Thai restaurant. And also checked out some other shops and such near there and heard:
-Thai
-Cantonese (I assume, I've watched a good amount of movies in Cantonese I think I might hear a distinction)
-Spanish
-Italian (Old Mom and Pop style pizza gellato place)
-Latin (In Latin class, can't say that the accent was good though. Then again I don't think anyone is too sure about Latin accents.)
-Polish (I'm in/near Chicago, huge population of Polish speakers.)

Interesting! Today I've heard many accents of English, Portuguese, French, an unknown language (probably a Scandinvian one) and, of course, Spanish.

English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Danish and Palestinian/Jordanian Arabic. Danish is seasonal. We have a lot of Danish tourists in the winter, for some odd reason, :)
