What do you call a person who is expert in many languages?

There are a few terms you can use for someone who is expert in many languages:

* Polyglot: This is the most common and widely recognized term for someone who knows and speaks multiple languages fluently.

* Multilingual: This term simply indicates that someone speaks more than one language. It doesn't necessarily imply expertise or fluency in all the languages.

* Linguist: While a linguist is primarily concerned with the study of language, some linguists may also be skilled in multiple languages.

* Hyperpolyglot: This term is used for someone who can speak 6 or more languages fluently.

The best term to use depends on the context and the level of expertise you want to emphasize.
