What language do you speak best? (Hypothesis: There are many French & German speakers in the Fediverse.)
Boosts appreciated!@rauschma clumping *all* of the other language into one category pretty much guarantees it's going to be the largest one!

It’s also remarkable how many people speak “Other”!
EDIT: I was trying to make a joke by pretending “Other” was a language. But that clearly didn’t work.
I expected the Fediverse to have many English & German speakers and had read that it was popular in France. I wanted to check these assumptions via a survey and my instance only lets me create four options. Beyond that, I didn’t know what to expect but the replies to my initial post show just how linguistically diverse the Fediverse is!
@rauschma I'm English with dual French nationality and speak French (despite a hideous accent). Spent a few years in Germany but never really picked up the language (in my defence, the languages where I worked were English and French). Also learned a spot of Other on the banks of Lago di Como, which was nice!
My daughter speaks all of them, and Dutch. Which is just showing off, really.

@rauschma German, but I am mainly on Akkoma, not Mastodon.
@hiker@akk.fedcast.ch @rauschma@fosstodon.org I am not as manly as you, nevertheless, Akkoma is my Fediverse software and I am German – which is a kind of man.

Boosts appreciated!@rauschma English (US), but trying to emigrate to France, so I'm learning French.
Not doing terribly at it, but once I start University it should get better.

Alemannic.They had to teach me "proper German" in school, so it's not my native language.

@rauschma other: Klingon
@hengstenberg @rauschma There are indeed native speakers of that, who are not Klingons!
-
@irina More than one native language, nice! Checkboxes would work well in some ways, but you’d also get the wrong impression that there are more people. That is, I hadn’t even considered using checkboxes, but I don’t see either approach as a clear winner.
You checking “English” would work, too, I think.
@rauschma I grew up *almost* bilingual (Dutch/English). I'm completely bilingual for reading, writing and listening, and practically bilingual for speaking (I have a bad all-over-the-world accent in my English).
