Why is this thread in the sewer . Moved & cleaned./mod

I speak Portuguese and English fluently and a bit of added Hungarian (can't write the latter very well though). I can understand French, Spanish and German a tiny bit but I don't claim to be able to speak any of these fluently.

I never knew the forum had so many linguists ...

even though i've lived in the phils for more than 7 years i can still only speak a few disjointed words of it.

on the other hand one of my daughters can speak fluent french, spanish, english (her native tongue) , pretty good italian and german, and a smattering of swiss

they do use a bit of spanish because of the 300 years of spanish rule but tagalog is the national language. there's also different dialects depending on where in the philippines you come from.

The Swiss have no languages of their own.
French, German, Italian and Romansh are their officially recognized languages.

i always thought Esperanto was a mixture of above and of swiss origin. affter a google i see a polish guy created it. anyway, thats the language. (she's in the travel industry by the way.)

[billy]

Very few people speak Esperanto.

and yet it is supposed to be the universal language

i remember being in an esperanto class actually (many years ago), never learned any of it though.

from what i gather it's more prevalent in switzerland for some reason.
my daughetr picked some of it up while doing a few seasons there.

[billy]

(apart from a japanese person )

We've got a lot of new members who aren't native English speakers -- I'd love to know what other languages we've got in the mix these days.

[Volaticus]

Let me see.. I'm fluent in Danish and almost in English, and then I speak a little German. I understand (but don't speak) some Swedish and Norwegian. (And some Latin too.)
I'm curious to hear what other languages there is here

[billy]

i should be able to speak more than ten or twenty words of tagalog after living in the philippines for ten years or more but i can't

Does Geordie count as a language, if so I'm fluent.

I'll take that as a yes or a (way aye man) which means I speak languages

[Leanne]

Champion.

[justcloudy]

english of course. I live in Morocco so I have bits of the local arabic, and my spoken french is quite passable (apparently my accent distracts people from my grammar mistakes, hehe) but my written french is beyond terrible. I used to be almost fluent in brazilian portuguese but a lot of it has slipped away...
