Will have fun by switching language each sentence they deal with the chat bots, or just trying obscure languages. At what point is it not financially worth the company producing a chatbot "fluent" in a language?

in UK (i.e. trade off of "training" in the language vs peopel using that language to interact)

Welsh - given some of the equal language laws in Wales, depending how interpreted, they would probably have to support this, which could cause them hassle.

Gaeleic - fun, as a whole set of variants, Manx Gaelic bot anyone?

Cornish - on the rise, but low numbers of really fluent speakers

.. but general slang / bad use of English will be awkward enough for bots (to/too there/their etc misuse (or often people not bothered on spelling as know the context is understood by a meatbag) as careless typing takes a lot more contextual analysis
