A lot of middle eastern people can speak a ton of languages; I have no idea how they keep them all straight. I guess it comes with the cultural and political circumstances. Some middle eastern languages, however, are similar...so this may explain the high number.


In Vancouver there's large groups of other-language speakers. Like the Indians/Filipinos in south (metro) Vancouver, the Chinese/Japanese/Korean in Richmond and the Poles/Italians/Russians in Vancouver...French actually isn't very common. The main languages, I suppose, are Chinese and Punjabi, asides from English.

I, myself, can speak English, French and Polish. Some Chinese...but not much. D:

OH and the Aussies and Brits pretty much own the slopes in the winter. (I can speak British and [caucasian] Australian, too! : D )

Yep. we are officially Bilingual- English and French. And you might hear some Irish or Scottish Gaelic in the Cape Breton area. We also spell things the British way: "colour" instead of "color", "doughnut" instead of "donut", and "practise" instead of "practice" Stuff like that. I'm a HUGE literature/spelling/grammar nut... xd

Here's the link, just for the lulz. biggrin

English, French, German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Tagalog, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Icelandic, Danish, etc.

I can hear all of these in one day if I wanted to.

I myself can only speak English, but I can understand Swedish, a little French, and sort of Spanish (and Norwegian... barely... only because of the Swedish)
