          It was this way not long ago. From 1938 to 1978 only Spanish names included in the "Santoral Católico" were admitted. Here is the law that ruled it (under "ministerio de justicia"): https://www.boe.es/datos/pdfs/BOE//1938/577/A07435-07436.pdf

          Should 'Tim knows Italian and Ukrainian, even though he is Spanish" be acceptable?

            "Tim can speak..." should be also accepted in my opinion.

              That has to be "Тим умеет говорить"
