I think you may be on to something here. For example ChatGPT is perfectly capable of "understanding" and speaking Polish while the amount of training data in this language definitely wasn't a lot. It is not as eloquent as in English, but still for a model that has not been trained for translation tasks, this is very cool.

Its Lithuanian is awful, I'd expect that any language further removed from that which the majority of it's training is in would be worse without a significant punt of data in that language. Its possible having that could affect it's English speaking capability, but that's just speculation on my part.
