Would you please introduce me a Noun that means ‘person able to read, write, speak, and comprehend a language’?

I know- a noun ‘literate’ means ‘person able to do 2 skills, reading and writing’ -, but need to know the Noun that means ‘person able to do 4 skills, reading writing speaking and comprehending’.

I need to use the Noun in a question that will be titled “Verb that means ‘order’” and posted by me at ‘General- Education & Reference’, ‘Higher Education’, and ‘Words & Word Play’ section of this Yahoo Answer.

I searched the Noun at following 8 thesaurus websites for two hours until 15 minutes ago, but could not find the Noun during the search:
answers.com/library/thesaurus, encarta.msn.com/thesaurus, infoplease.com/thesaurus, m-w.com/thesaurus, online-thesaurus.net/thesaurus... synonym.com/synonym, thesaurus.reference.com, wordnet.princeton.edu.

I typed:

letterer’-‘lingual’-‘literate'. -‘literacy’- -‘reader’--‘inditer’-.

on search bar of above websites,

then clicked a rectangle button at dexter adjacence of the bar a second after the type --search result page was displayed for the typed words at the website a second after the type -- and searched the Noun at the page.

Thank you for your time and help!

"Noun that means ‘person able to read, write, speak, and comprehend a language’?" = in short, Learned.

A person able to understand, read, write and speak languages would be a person who is literate in those areas. A person can be "literate" in one area, two areas, or more....you just need to specify what subjects they are "literate in.

I am totally confused by the statement you want a noun that is listed as a verb.....and "literate" can be used as a noun....this person is a "literate"....or as an adjective...."this is a literate person."....and you would say what that person is "literate" in.....which could include any number of things.

If you want a noun that means "order" it could be "organization",arrangement, filing system, etc. depending on what you mean by "order".

I can't think of a noun, but the words "fully conversant" would cover the meaning.

"Literate", is an adjective. You are seeking a word that describes a person. I don't know of any noun.

boy, i saw a lot of oddball answers about trilinguals and stuff, but i guess the word you are looking for would be the noun communicator, like ronny reagan was the great communicator.

bilingual is 2 languages
trilingual is 3 languages
quad lingual 4 languages

maybe fluent, fluency?

Bilingual is a word used to describe someone who can speak two languages.

Trilingual, three languages.

A 'good linguist' is the only thing I can think of.

fluent- speak with ease.
if they can speak it with ease theres a good chance that they can also read, write and comprehend it as well
