English and French, English fluently (obviously), French reasonably fluently (though not entirely so).

I'm surprised at the number of people who can speak French; I was always under the impression that Spanish was the "other" language that you learn in America.

It is but most of those people aren't on the forum.

Oh.

Well, that explains things, then. Tongue

If we want to get into that realm, then I also know...

C
C++
C#
Java
SQL
VBA
XML
XQuery
HTML
Javascript
PHP

...and I also know the quite useless but nonetheless scary-looking assembly language for the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller.

Dutch?  Wow, that's an unusual one.  How did you learn that?


Born in the Netherlands.

Dutch and German are quite similar... perhaps due to the Germans invading us repeatedly over the centuries...

Cool.  Some of my family is from the Netherlands, way back.  Unfortunately, I don't speak a word of Dutch.  It would be fun to learn, if I had the time.  I've heard it's very similar to German.

If I recall correctly, Dutch is often referred to as "low German".

I know nothing further about it, except for the fact that some Dutch guy made a Dutch version of the song "Barbie Girl".

Vous avez tous été trompé; le français est clairement la meilleure langue.

Me too, only the languages I pursue are not the type you speak with. Wink

Not completely; I've been known to use the phrase "good old (noun)" as well, and I'm about as un-Southern as you get. Smiley

Quiet, Gabu, I'm tired of you and your shaggy beard insulting me.

You need to have a talk with Archie Bunker.

If people want an international language, why not just adopt English, which is already practically the de facto international language?
