summary
Claim: not all languages use English keywords; there are 8,900 known programming languages with about 2,500 born in the US and roughly 35 percent from English-speaking countries. Examples include symbolic APL and J, esoteric Brainfuck with working hello world ASCII tricks, image language Piet, Whitespace and musical Velato, plus localized syntaxes like Tuton, Lino and a Polish Fortran. A custom dialect, Cadrega Lisp written in Haskell, exists and is forkable.
