how many language/dialects do you speak?

Greetings lexxie!;) I didn't knew you were a 'kabayan', and I am glad to see this post of your's because you're address was Penang, Malaysia. Well english and tagalog language is obviously the most common dialect that we speak here, and I am fond also of learning new languages from our country. I know some of it, but I cannot say that I am fluent in terms of speaking it. I learned some of them by meeting other people, from kapampangan, to ilonggo, to chavacano, ilocano and so on!;)

Sadly, I am only bilingual. I can speak English and Mandarin only though I would love to know more languages. Oh yes, I can converse well enough in my local dialect too. :P

i speak telugu very well as its my mother tongue.other than that i speak english and hindi.telugu is a Dravidian language primarily spoken in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, where it is the official language. It is the Dravidian language with the largest number of speakers (including non-native speakers), the third most spoken language in India after Hindi/Urdu and Bengali and one of the twenty-three national languages of the Republic of India.[1] In addition, it is also spoken among a diaspora population in the USA, Malaysia, Mauritius, South Africa, Fiji, Réunion, Trinidad and the UK among other countries around the world. Telugu is one of the languages of Carnatic music , the classical music of South India.

I can understand and speak in around 20 languages, although my main language is english, but I have learnt other languages in school and from being friends with many foreigner that have come to live in my country plus I am married to a man from the South Pacific so I speak his language as well which is Tongan.

I speak New Zealand English. I can speak a bit of Maori. I know a few Spanish words too and would like to be fluent someday. Did you know that Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world?

I'm from the Philippines so technically I'm fluent in Tagalog, I can understand and speak English also, mi hablo un poco espanyol, and Ilocano as well since my mom is from Ilocos. I would want to be fluent in Spanish and learn Nihonggo.

uh, english, a little arabic language, and of course, indonesian hey, there's a little bit of difference in malay and indonesian right?

Howdy Lexxie3, how are you doing? My friend is teaching me some Tagalog as he is studying in the USA, but it's by phone so I only know some phrase. I know English and Spanish very well: English is my first language and Spanish is my second language. I know some basic Italian, but sometimes I forget some of the words and I substitute Spanish words in place of them, hehehe. Have a nice day. Pablo

I can directly speak Croatia cause it is my mothers language and I can also directly speak English cause I learn it for 8 years. I am also learning German and I could comunicate with people but it would be a bit hare so when I am in some forgien country I sepak English. I know also few words from Italian.

I speak Chinese and English, and I can comprehend Cantonese ( a dialect of Chinese ).

I think I would love to know more languages, but i am only bilingual, I can speak mandarin and english. of course, I can converse well enough in three of chinese local dialect.

I speak three languages. Irish is my mother tongue and it was compulsory to learn it while at school. It is now only spoken in some rural parts of Ireland and not everybody here can understand it. The rest of the country speak English. I learned to speak French while I was at school and I went on to study it after I left school. I can speak it fluently, but I am not so good at writing it.

I communicate in English and my mother tongue plus I understand a bit of Mandarin. I'm thinking of learning French and Italian too since these languages sound beautiful in my ears.

i speak, chinese (manderine) and English, also Taiwanese, cuz i am from Taiwan my grand parent tought me, but whenv i speak it they all laugh even my friend cuz of my pernouciation... i also understand Cantonese(60percent) cuz it's similar to Taiwanese... i also can speak and read some spanish but not understand i can pernouce it less more than understanding it. i learn when i was 7th grade and 8th grade, and also i have some spanish friend they tought me, they always call me "Chino" i think it means Asian boy... though the spanish teacher don't like it when they call me that, she think is disrespectfull... i can tell the difference between Japanese and kerean if someone speaks it! and i can read some word in japanese becuz it's chinese form and my grand father can speak japanese becuz when he is young u know the Japan invade China...blablabla the history so my grand pa speak Japanese i know a little bit of kerean and Hasian too! just couple of words but mostly is Chinese and Englsish!!! yep that's pretty much it!

I speak Tagalog, Korean , Spanish, Visayas and English and some Japanese... i learn Korean cuz im here at Korea, spanish cuz i have my friend here who is Puerto Rican...

my english and filipino is of sound command. my 7 years of Baguio has not made my ilokano as formidable as it should be but I can talk a bit and comprehend more (can't sell this mofo in any northern market! heh). my kapampangan (I'm ancestrally from Pampanga and my ex tried her best to tutor me into the cabalen vernacular) is terrible though. All my latin are either law related phrases or philo-logic contractions (none of which I can translate directly). O_o
