What Do You Speak?

[MrFun]

Is there such a language now, as the official Apolytonan language??

[-=Vagrant=-]

There are those who are trilangual
There are those who are bilangual
And there are those who are american...

[sorry]
Just a bad joke.

i understand and speak english fluently
i understand and speak korean mostly fluently (not native though)
i understand german decently, enough to get by, but can't speak it very well.
i know words and phrases of arabic, just from hanging out with lots of arabic students.

[Dr. Stiby]

Obviously I speak Dutch a little!
I'm competent at German. Ganz toll!
I'll manage in French, be it barely. Je voudrais deux baquettes, sÃl vous plaît!
I speak a bit of Papiamento, which is the local language of Aruba (where my father's from).
I also learned a few phrases of Shona, a local Zimbabwean language, while I was there. Ndipei Vakadzy
And there's English of course.

Swedish as a native, Hungarian as a native but with rather limited vocabulary (which may seem like a contradiction, but isn't really- I can instinctively know the correct grammar and pronounciation of hungarian, since I've spoken it from childhood, but much of the advanced language escapes me). French at high school level, mostly forgotten.

In terms of vocabulary English is probably the language I know most of.

Eine ganze Menge von euch scheint sich einzubilden, deutsch zu sprechen. Ich möchte ja mal wissen wie weit es damit her ist. Wahrscheinlich kann nicht mal die Hälfte derer das hier lesen. How pathetic

[Dr. Stiby]

Aber du Etchelion, warum glaubst du nicht daB ich deine Post lesen kann! Aber die Reste des Apolytons, ich weiB es nicht!

[Ecthy]

Naja, das ging ja grad so. Roland spricht übrigens auch kein Deutsch, nur alpisch

[SlowwHand]

What a bogusass poll.

[Monk]

Hallo Ecthelion

Ich bin auch einer "von der Menge". Obwohl meine Grammatik selbstverständlich schlecht ist, kann ich dich versichern, dass ich verstand, was du sagst.

How pathetic

It cannot be bad... Stefu has told it once... It must be good! Praise Stefu!

Close - it's widely used in the Indonesian provinces of West Sumatra, Jambi, and Bengkulu on the island of Sumatra (and the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan). It is one of a couple of thousand local languages in Indonesia which are used in people's family life and casual occasions (Indonesian being the language of education, business, and government) and one of the more closely related to Indonesian and Malaysian.

Damn, you're a pimp! Are you Indonesian? Why'd/How'd you learn Indonesian?

Since I live in Hawaii, I'm required to learn some Hawaiian. Since my family is Nihongin (Japanese), I wanted to learn Japanese. And since French is [relatively] easy in college, I'm taking French.

Mais, J'ai tre mal!

[Mr. President]

That's quite interesting that Hawaiian is required. Even in Wales, Welsh isn't a required study area.

Damn, you're a pimp!

Er, thanks! My father is in fact Indonesian, and I lived there for a short time many years ago when I was too young to remember it.

All the French I know is "Omelette du frumage, sil vous plait". I used to know how to say "Hands up!" in Russian. That's much more useful.

[Frankychan]

"Omelette du fromage"?

Wasn't that on Dexter's Laboratory? When he was listening to that French album and it got stuck on that saying?

Nah, that's cool that you can speak an Indonesian language.

Sorry, but in Apolyton, I keep on using local slang in my postings!

Over here, calling someone a "pimp" means that they are "The Man". It is generally a compliment here.

[Mr. President]

Oh, well, thanks! I doubt I'm truly worthy of the accolade of pimpdom.

I don't think I saw that episode of Dexter's Laboratory. Have you seen the movie Top Secret? At the beginning, this guy is listening to one of those language-learning tapes for German, and the phrases it's teaching him are things like "I want a schnauzer with my wienerschnitzels".
