"As a child, [Charles Berlitz] was raised in a household in which (by his father's orders) every relative and servant spoke to [him] in a different language: he reached adolescence speaking eight languages fluently. In adulthood, he recalled having the childhood delusion that every human being spoke a different language, and wondering why he did not have his own language like everyone else in his household."
