Chihuahua: Solution

Solution needed. The answer is TIE.


Archivist's Note: Partial data and some insights are below:

It appears that there is a small number of distinct speakers, each speaking a subset of these languages. Judging by the English instruction of "Sixth and finally, read what you have written backwards.", each speaker probably has his or her own subset of 4-6 instructions, and each speaker's instruction set produces a clue. Partial data follows. Note that the languages are in order and that their numbers increase sequentially, except for French. Both of these would be true of French, though, if it were in the right place on the list.
