If I were to extend C by adding python style classes on top of it, I would end up with roughly the same number of keywords.
You can use Objective-C as a datapoint here. That's Smalltalk on top of C. You can use the same sort of trick (delimiting the dynamic sends) to recycle the C keywords in the dynamic context, and end up with a language with just a few more keywords than C.
