Pune: A new record for being the youngest polyglot (multilingual) was set by Shivanshika Harish Raghuwanshi. According to the India Book of Records, Shivanshika has set this record at the age of 3 years, 1 month and 4 days. She belongs to Pune, Maharashtra however currently she is settled in Doha, Qatar.
 
Shivanshika can introduce herself in 30 different languages. The languages includes Spanish, Greek, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Filipino, Indonesian, Urdu, Hungarian, Punjabi, Marathi, Thai, Sanskrit, Bangla, Vietnamese, Nepali, Ukrainian, Japanese, Malayalam, Telugu, French, Turkish, Kannada, Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil, English, Arabic and Chinese. Moreover Shivanshika can also recite 15 Sanskrit Shlokas. She can also identify types of vehicles, animals, vegetables and body parts.
 
Her parents said, “Initially she started learning words from different languages and tried to make sentences with them. When we saw her talent, we added other languages as a part of her study and gradually started picking up. She can introduce herself in 30 different languages which include 10 national and 20 international types.”
 
While sharing about the journey of Shivanshika, her parents said, “During her learning journey, she started talking in Japanese and Italian all of a sudden with anyone in our friend circle and in her day-care. They all were telling us that they could not understand a word she was saying. She would then laugh by herself when no one was responding to her. We are beyond proud of our child as she is now the “Youngest Polyglot” and has achieved this record at such an early stage of her life.”
