"I seem to recall about 5 languages being listed in the standard,
which hardly clarifies as "most", especially since it leaves out
some of my favorites :-)."

Actually only 3 languages are mentioned epxlicitly, and the claim should
have said "interface with most other standardized languages". Obviously
the ISO standard for Ada 95 cannot talk about nonstandardized languages
like C++ Java, or whatever.,

However, in practice, since Ada 95 can duplicate a C interface, Ada 95
can certainly interfac to anything that C (or for that matter Fortran
or COBOL) can interface to. Of course, as is generally true for interacing
from C to anything, such interfaces may indeed be non-portable.
