I speak English (duh!) and am halfway competent at reading Spanish. I don't usually attempt to speak it. So that's a language that I want to finish learning.
I don't think Pig Latin counts as a language....
It would be handy to know all languages but the one that would currently be most useful to me is Korean.

Gotta be real careful how you go about speaking . . . I guess it's no less different than if I were to say "what a wonderful day" with a cheerful or sarcastic attitidue. But when learning Chinese or Japense, one needs to be concerned with the stresses on every word.Elf wrote:Yeah, the same goes with Japanese. It's just one word, but depending on what "syllable" you stress, you could either be joking, being friendly, sound surprised, or completely offend someone.

I think this is right....anyway they speak on main language everyone can understand ( Manderanin) and eveyone has their own little dielect. like People in Hong Kong do not talk like people in Shanghi and so on...kinda like people saying howdy as aposed to hello or how do you do...

I can speak reasonably fluent Chinese (Mandarin, w/Beijing accent... and a small southerner accent too... o_o), English, HTML and Inform (...Text adventure programming language.)
I can speak small bits of Java, CSS, Javascript, and Japanese... though it's probably classified as fangirlian.
And I wish to learn Java, Japanese, Quenya and Sindarin.

"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.
