How many programming languages do you know?

Languages like SQL do count.

HTML and CSS don't count. It has to be Turing complete without involving another Turing complete system.

What does it mean to "know" a programming language? Not a philosophical or gotcha question, I really don't know how to evaluate it.
I haven't written C or Perl in maybe a decade, but used to teach them - do I count those?
I've reluctantly written some Javascript when necessary, by googling every step along the way, and imbibed something about it even if I wasn't trying to.
I "know" Common Lisp in that I can understand its syntax, but know none of its libraries, and wouldn't know what its development workflow looks like.

@digital_carver @urusan to be fair, I have the same questions about spoken languages. I can read books in French but I can't hold a conversation in the language. Do I know French?
