Ziad Youssef Fazah (Arabic: زياد فصاح; born 10 June 1954)[1] is a Liberian-born Lebanese alleged polyglot.
Fazah spoke Arabic at home and learned French and English in school.
In 1997, Fazah's polyglot abilities were tested in the Chilean TV program Viva el lunes.
[5] The program was in Spanish and ambassadors and other guests from all over the world asked him questions in Egyptian Arabic, Finnish, Russian, Chinese, Persian, Hindi and Greek.
He claimed that the show's organizers did not inform him he would be tested and even that it would be conducted in languages other than Spanish, so he did not have time to prepare himself to properly answer the questions.
