VB Knives(@Empty_America):Even more interesting would be raising a kid to be a fluent "Interlingua" speaker, which is an artificial Latinate language designed to be comprehensible to speakers of *any* modern romance language, although it works better for the Spanish-Portuguese-Italian group. Would lead to some very funny interactions as they realized that they could understand you, but didn't actually know what language you were speaking.
