How many languages can fit into a brain?

You know, there's not really even an infinte amount of languages out there. There are probably thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, but infinity? C'mon now.

But yeah, I agree with Aardark. I took a class in sociolinguistics, and the professor said that languages that are similar (like spanish and italian, for example) or stem from the same roots (english and german, for example) are easier to learn, and that they are stored in the same part of the brain. So in other words, your brain is already separating the languages into different areas of the brain, so I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to learn even hundreds of languages if you worked hard enough at it (of course that probably isn't practical for most people).
