They also seem to exclude smaller bases, and smaller concentrations of US troops. However, if there were like 50 US troops stationed next door from you you'd probably be tempted to say you live next to a US military base, so that doesnt seem right. So [this list by Al Jazeera], while a bit older, is probably a much more accurate count:

This is what I mean when I say people act as though only white Western dudebros do history, and there's definitely a component of US-centrism at play here. The Egyptian Egyptology field for example is thriving; but somehow people forget that non-Western countries can do science? That they can have museums? That they can and do study their own cultures and/or those of others, and moreover that they do it well?

Does not matter if you can read the text or not. How many languages are within the books in your home?

I mean proper "books in different languages." Books that have a few spattered sentences in them as part of a narrative or citation do not count. We're talking books intended to be in different languages for different language readership.

For survey purposes, educational books teaching you how to speak/read another language will count, too. Books paralleled in 2+ languages of the same base text count.
