Before you ask.
More than 150, and the list keeps growing. Widely spoken ones like Mandarin and Spanish sit alongside regional languages and a fair few endangered ones — Manx and Sorbian turn up more often than you would expect.
They are real speakers, not synthesised audio and not actors reading a script. That is why an accent occasionally throws you: it is somebody actually talking rather than a clean studio take.
