After seeing the latest thread in a language other than English, I was
wondering:

What languages do people here speak?

Gee, that reminds me of part of a survey I made. I unfortunately only got
the replies, but so far I have:

English (majority), German, Russian, French, Dutch, and Spanish. I have
personally seen messages in French and Spanish and the occasional comment
in German/Russian/Dutch. Oh, I also forgot Universal. AFAIK, only Govert
Zoethout seems to use this language consistently.

English only, though some Spanish was learned in school grade 5 and a
semester of German grade 11. Also learned Braille in grade 6 when the
teacher was blind, perhaps the best language class I ever had.

Bulgarian, English, Russian, some Spanish, and a little Latin.
Planning to learn German and French, and perhaps Italian because my
father knows it quite well. I also have a half-Polish friend who is of
course fluent in Bulgarian and Polish, so I might think about it.
Slavic languages are hard, though.

POV-Ray, C (no plusses!), Pascal, AppleSoft BASIC, 6502 assembler
(long live Merlin!), some HTML, javaScript. I will learn C++, php3 and
Perl5 when I have some more time.

Ah, and I can swear in Bulgarian (any dialect), Serbian, Macedonian,
Russian, English, Latin (mostly anatomical :) ), Spanish (quite a lot
but not as much as I'd like to), Italian (but only what my father let
me know), and an occasional 4-letter equivalent or two in French,
German, Gipsy, Greek, Turkish, Croatian, Romanian. Ah, and I used to
know one in Chinese but seem to have forgotten it (I'll have to ask a
Chinese friend about it :) ) Basically I can get my nose bleeding
mostly anywhere decide to go. Not that I haven't done it...

povray, objective-c, pascal, fortran, cobol, basic...

I communicate more with a computer than with humans, it seems, so getting
rusty with English, the only language I speak!

English, French, Irish, and enough German that when I hear some words I
think "That's kinda familiar...". Computer stuff - a little basic, HTML, the
beginings of assembler, I will be learning C++ and of course Pov.

Gaelic just refers to the Irish language in general. There are two main
types, Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic. Its the Irish variety that I speak.

And one I hear that is becoming a lost language quickly under imperial rule.

English (what with being born in England ;) and a little French.

Since everyone else seems to have gone into computer languages, I'll also
add C/C++, Pascal, BASIC, HTML, Povray and... of course.. Logo :)
