Just curious. What is your native language? By native language, what language were you taught in your house? This is using a list of the Top 20 languages according to Wikipedia. I understand your language may not be on the list. If it isn't, select Other and post what your language is.

Thanks.

Terrible isn't it? I was actually thinking of you and Timmetie (sorry I put you in the same sentence as him) when I created this thread. That's why I threw the Other option in there.

And Greeks.

So I added both options as well.

Some of the languages listed I have never heard of.

My native language is Serbo-Croatian with ijekavski dialect (I'd like to say Montenegrin but there is no such thing :D ).

Afrikaans was my first language (should be an option it's rivaling English :) ). Now i speak english with relaxed tone of an Australian accent, and if my Afrikaans skill is less than that of a 5th grader.

I want thank all of you who have voted and responded. I was using a list from Wikipedia of the Top 20 languages that I believe was based on the number of speakers. Thank you to all those who speak languages not on the list and have let us know what their native tongue is.

I am jealous of those who are multilingual. I took three years of Spanish in high school but can not carry on a long conversation (Thanks American education ;lose ).

Please keep voting folks. Thank you.

Why not Chinese was listed? I think spoken Chinese players will reach 100 about. I think this list can not show anything correctly.
