What (human) languages do you know? Are there any specific (human) languages that it would be beneficial to learn to work in a computer related job?

I know english (obviously), spanish (better than average..studied it for 5 years), and my Indian language.
In general, knowing a foreign language is a definite plus for getting into college / getting hired / whatever. Employers like to see a wide variety of skills, not just what you can do with a computer and such. Knowing a foreign language allows you to go to other countries and do business there. As foreign economic interdependence grows, this is a definite advantage. There really isn't a specific language that is beneficial over the other. I'd venture to say German would be more useful than say Swahili, but knowing a foreign language no matter which one it is, is a decided advantage.

I know german & english, and a little bit of spanish.
Of course it's usefull! Employers look not only for what you know, but for how well you learn.

Latin. It's really a pretty neat language, upper levels are a bitch to learn though.
