Which languages do you speak?

[Laser Smith]

English, Spanish, Italian, and I took 4 years of Latin. It is not a dead language, only frozen. Also some programming language but I'm only gonna count the spoken ones

 

[Meatball]

I voted two -American English,

and 1/2 for Korean
and 1/2 for C and assembly

Korean is the best to learn IMO. Its got fairly few letters in the alphabet, and a very logical syntax.

 

[sesam]

I know more programming languages than thoose I can speak

Those I can speak is
Swedish, English, German and Norwegian

 

[Elektrotechniker]

Greek, English, German here. Counting the programming languages, well C and Java I suppose

 

[ilovegm]

Fluent: English & Chinese
Half-assed: Japanese

I took 4 years of Latin. It is not a dead language, only frozen.

Learning Latin is on my to-do list, because reading Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in Latin is on my bucket list

 

[Laser Smith]

It really is a great language. It opens you up to a world of knowledge because it is the root of so much. It makes it easy to interpret even languages you don't know, not to mention medical terminology etc.

In my 3rd year we all got free pencils engraved "Multis sanguis fluit." Which means, Much blood flows

 

[AnthoT]

English French Italien

 

[Benm]

I also too latin in school for several years, but i must have forgotten much of it, and cannot say i speak it as there is noone left that actually speaks it as a first language - except for some folks in the vatican perhaps.

As a 'base language' it obviously is useful since many language derrive a lot of the vocabulary from it. This is especially true for languages like french, italian, spanish and such, but you can even find a lot of etymology dating back to latin in english or dutch.

That Regex?

For those not versed,
Regular expression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It basically represents the notation for the barebone grammar logic, in such a way that you can write EVERYTHING using symbols alone. Both complete strings, and logic operations.

Edit... hmm or not.

Lost me here. What's that?

 

[Bionic-Badger]

Regular expressions aren't Turing complete, so not everything.

 

[Eudaimonium]

Right well... you know what I meant

Besides I don't speak Regex so yeah, could be wrong.

 

[Seoul_lasers]

By fluent we mean, able to fully converse (express ourselves fully) and listen at least 85-90% fully in a language.

A handfull of words is just that.
I lost my fluency in french because I lost interest in it, and spent too long in N.E. Asia. I can't converse in it, but I can fluently understand spoken French and read it.

 

[Apocalypse]

I voted 3, Chinese, English and French. Can sorta speak Taiwanese but didn't count that.

 

[millirad]

English, Español, по-русски, some Français, Japanese and I didn't count a little German, Italian, Tagalog, Hawaiian.
(If you try to speak Spanish in Catalunya, Spain like I did....good luck.)

I have an aunt who speaks fluent Greek, and an aunt/uncle who speak fluent Dutch.

A friend and a nephew who are fluent in Mandarin.

 

[Arayan]

Italian, English and a very basic Japanese, but I vote for 2
