I've been in my current department for 8 months and most of my co-workers probaly don't know that I speak French "conversantly"; however most know that I am from Winnipeg. So I might get called upon for winter survival tips, but not to speak French.

Had this guy been from Poland; perhaps authorities could have known. And perhaps in the future they could keep a list handy of common languages. But then again, how many languages are there in the world? Over 100? Is that even realistic?
