Sutter Says:
That he is fluent in several dialects of
Arabic:
"Actually, I'm fluent in several dialects of Arabic."
(source)
Not only this, but he ''reads and speaks' eleven languages:
"I spent 26 years in the USN CT ops, graduated the Naval War College, trained with the IDF, and spent more time tracking down and neutralizing terrorists than you have probably spent breathing. I have a solid comprehension of the cultures of the Middle East (along with many other cultures), I read and speak English, Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Latin and Greek. I have a Bachelor's in Nuclear Physics, a Masters in Modern Warfare,
Masters in Theology, a Doctorate of Divinity, Doctorate of Biblical Studies, and Ph.D. in Trauma Psychology.
Any other silly questions?

Or is it just eight? Only a year after posting the preceding claim, it seems that Sutter forgot about three of the eleven languages in which he purports himself fluent:
"So you're a linguist too? Now I'm going to have to watch my wording or risk getting my knuckles smacked, I suppose. Can I still throw in an occasional quote in one of the eight language that I learned back in the Stone Age..."

The Truth:
We'll leave it to the readers to make up their own minds on this one.
