Kult å sjå andre norske her , og om du snakkar nynorsk er endå meir kult.
OMG everyone speaks japanese.
I DON'T
ps. lying is badde, totally badde
i mean, if the japanese you pick up from watching anime and dramas counts then i know a little of every scandinavian language, (except for finnish but i think that's mostly made up as a joke or to hide that all finns are telepaths or something)
Algunos de nosotros dominamos el castellano (español), ya sea por que es nuestro idioma nativo, o porque lo aprendimos viajando. Aún así, el inglés sigue siendo un buen método para que todos en este foro podamos comunicarnos.
>>33 seconded. If you know how to read a newspaper (or hold a conversation beyond "my name is ____ whar is the museum?") in the language of your choice, then you could say you "know" it.
For example, >>25 only knows english, yet he has listed 4 bullshit languages

Of course you can list 'bullshit languages', languages you only know a few words of :D
I started the thread and I only listed the ones I actually speak.
For 'bullshit' ones, then:
American english
Saami
Latin
and uhm.. whatever the name is for that silly language kids use to write secret messages and such.
> and uhm.. whatever the name is for that silly language kids use to write secret messages and such.
I think in at least American English they call it AOLchat
pig latin?
>I think in at least American English they call it AOLchat
Well, about that AOLchat thing. I find it pretty useful for accomplishing the purpose.
> For 'bullshit' ones, ... Latin
What a crock of shit! Latin killed the Romans, yes, but that doesn't mean it's not a real language. Hey, if it has it's own allocation on ISO 609, it's a language.
I think he means that he only knows it a little bit, not well enough to translate a written text easily.
I can't believe only one person here speaks some Chinese. I'm fluent in English and pretty fluent, conversation-wise anyway, in Chinese (Cantonese to be exact, my Mandarin comprises of bu, ji, and dao :P).

I can speak Cajun creole and English because they are my native tounges
I learned how to read quite abit of Kanji and Hangul from playing Japanese and Korean games for so many years. My Korean is much, much better than my Japanese, though. Lately as I moved from console to PC games, my Korean naturally got better
I also live in a dense hispanic population part of Texas now, so I can pick up Spanish fairly easy. Cajun language uses lots of French vocabulary and most of it is very similar to Spanish

これは本当にくそスレだな…
Really, who cares what language you speak?! I better see a fucking poll created, or else this thread was entirely in vain. Do you really care if some anonymous person knows French - a little whereas another anonymous person knows French - passable proficiency?
This thread would only be suitable on forums that require registration, and even then, it would still be shit.
Even "Residents of Needler High!" was more successful than this!
Even "How old are you?" was more successful and meaningful than this!
[Worst Thread Ever] How many languages do you speak? ver2 [SHAME]

Odd...it displays that one symbol I used correctly on my computer.
What I meant to say was:
"well I speak it better than an average noob"
This is an interesting remark, from a cultural perspective:
> When one of my customers from Korea was visiting here, I asked him if it bothered him that the backslash doesn't appear as a backslash. It did bother him, and he believes it bothers most of his countrymen. However, he was fatalistic about it, "What can we do to change it. It's been this way for a long time. We are used to it."
It's interesting because, like, no American would say something like that. Ever. And as an American, I find this sort of resignedness to just making do with whatever people give you, puzzling.

Languages really do not stick around in your mind if you do not use them sadly. When did all of you polyglot people start learning all of these languages? Starting in junior high was difficult for me.
I learned mostly because my dad was a travel agent and tour runner when I was younger. We went to alot of countries and I just picked up the language from hearing it so much. Lost alot of it now though, don't go as much any more.
