“he is a remarkable linguist” [GREE]
Sherlock Holmes has been translated into scores of languages
all around the world (just ask Don Hobbs). But what
languages was he fluent in or have passing familiarity with?
This is the question Dean W. Dickensheet tackles in Vol. 10 No. 3 of The Baker Street Journal in his article "Sherlock Holmes - Linguist." It's the latest in our series looking at old Sherlockian scholarship and it's just a Trifle.
