What do you call a speaker of many languages?

There are a few terms you can use to describe a speaker of many languages, each with slightly different connotations:

Formal:

* Polyglot: This is the most common and widely recognized term for someone who speaks multiple languages. It suggests a high level of fluency in several languages.

* Multilingual: This term simply means speaking more than one language, without implying any specific level of fluency.

Informal:

* Linguist: This term is generally used for someone who studies languages professionally. However, it can also be used informally to describe someone who speaks many languages.

* Language enthusiast: This term is more casual and suggests a passion for languages, rather than just the ability to speak them.

The best term to use depends on the context and the specific nuance you want to convey.
