Gaelic Scottish, Scottish English and Australian English :D
Just out of curiosity, when do you speak Scots? Most Scottish people who don't speak Gaelic would just speak English instead of Scots because of the high familiarity between the two languages, right?

The two languages do not have any familiarity whatsoever. You do realise that Gaelic is Celtic?

English + some Japanese. I can talk with people.. sorta. My jap improves if I spent like extended periods of time in Japan but in Australia I slowly lose the ability because I don't really ever need to speak it. I can understand Japanese better than I can speak it, sometimes I can't get the words out/struggle with past tense and stuff.

Mandarin won't be universal anytime soon.
The reason English is almost universal is because of the many economic powers that speak it plus all the colonisation by the British back in da old days.
