There are several! Usually they have the country name in the group. I
wouldn't want to post anything to an it. group unless I spoke Italian,
or japanese to a jp. group.
The *default* in most alt groups is English. Granted, it is not always
the language of choice. Should someone post regularly here in another
language, I don't think there would be a flamewar or anything- but the
majority here do speak English (and I don't mean that's their only tongue!)
