Many monarchs were polyglots. It´s known for all. But, the brazilian emperor Peter II
was the greatest. He spoke English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Arabic, Russian, Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit and Tupi-Guarani - Brazilian indians´language. It exists a interesting fact about his domain in English: When he went in the United States, 4000 people voted him for president. He had the best teachers and studied languages till his death.

That's almost as balanced and impartial an account of Peter II as the hagiography found in Wikipedia:

Truely, your abilities in tongues are wery known in the Brazil. According with the
April Almanach 2010, he spoke these languages. But, the article about him on Wikipedia is certainly partial and perhaps wrote by the Brazilian Monarchists. Edited by Gorgoll2 on 11 November 2010 at 9:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
