Nineteen-year-old Mahmood Akram from Chennai has achieved remarkable linguistic feats, mastering the ability to read, write, and type in 400 languages, and speaking 46 languages fluently. His journey began at the age of four, inspired by his father, Dr. Mozhippriyan, a linguist proficient in 16 languages. By eight, Akram set a world record as the youngest multilingual typist, and by twelve, he had demonstrated fluency in 400 languages, impressing German linguists and securing another world record.
Akram's passion for languages led him to teach others; at fourteen, he started conducting language workshops and sharing his expertise through YouTube, attracting a global audience. By 2024, he had conducted workshops in countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Currently, he is pursuing multiple degrees: a BA in English Literature and a BSc in Animation at Chennai's Alagappa University, and studying linguistics at the UK's Open University.
His dedication to language learning and teaching continues to inspire many worldwide, showcasing the profound impact of passion and commitment in breaking educational barriers.
That sounds like an incredible feat! If Mahmood Akram from Chennai truly possesses the ability to read, write, and type in 400 languages while speaking 46 fluently, he would be one of the most extraordinary polyglots in history.
There have been notable hyperpolyglots (people who master many languages), such as Ziad Fazah and Cardinal Mezzofanti, but achieving fluency in 46 languages is extremely rare. Do you have a source or any official confirmation of his accomplishments? I'd love to learn more about his journey and how he managed to achieve this level of linguistic mastery! 😊
