What's the plural of this term? The article uses "lingua francas", which looks odd: pluralizing the adjective but not the noun. The original plural would be "linguae francae" in Latin, "lingue franche" in Italian, but Ostler says its uncertain which is actually the original, and suggests hyphenating, though he (or his subeditor) isn't consistent.
