While Perl 6 was designed with English method and object names, it's a fully-Unicode-enabled language, with the ability for identifiers and even operators to be defined in any language one may desire. The name of the (currently) primary implementation is a Japanese word, "Rakudo", which is also a pun in Japanese depending on how you say and/or interpret it. Larry specifically wants Perl 6 to noy be limited by English as much as is practical (or even impractical, if you know him you'll understand - to him, code is just as much poetry and art as it is engineering!)
