James Murray: [When his Oxford interviewers learn he has no university degree] Qualifications? Yes, well, I am fluent in Latin and Greek, of course. Beyond those, I have an intimate knowledge of the Romance tongues: Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, and to a lesser degree Portuguese, Vaudois, Provençal, and other dialects. In the Teutonic branch, I am familiar with the German, Dutch, Danish, and Flemish. I have specialized in Anglo-Saxon and Moeso-Gothic, and have prepared works for publication on both these languages. I also have a useful knowledge of Russian. I have sufficient knowledge of Hebrew and Syriac to read at sight the Old Testament and Peshito, and to a lesser degree, Aramaic, Arabic, Coptic, and Phoenician to the point where it was left by Gesenius. Forgive me rattling on, I'm sure you have questions
