What language do you speak best?

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@rauschma ah, I can barely see the emoticon, I can't see what it is or what it's doing

[rauschma@fosstodon.org]

@brouhaha Same here! I used Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon/F in the past (among other non-Algol languages). Now almost exclusively TypeScript.

@rauschma I like my instance, and the fediverse, because it is multilingual. I’m English-speaking, but I can read and speak French. I’m slowly learning German and a bit of Spanish, mostly by osmosis. When I retire, I’ll try learning one of the indigenous languages, probably Mohawk, from my area. Perhaps Chinese or Arabic if I’m around long enough.

@griff I can fill in such a survey, but I can’t create it on my Mastodon instance.

@murdoc @rauschma

how you access mastodon may also makes a difference. I've used a different apps and the functionality changes radically.

[griff@blahaj.zone]

@rauschma@fosstodon.org

I'm sure it's something to do with the instance. I had never created a poll before. Thank you for giving me an excuse.

@rauschma Portuguese!

[number236@mastodon.social]

@rauschma Chinese

@rauschma

I know many Germans in weird, niche forums who write in English of a standard that puts the average pensioner, raging in the comments on a BBC news article, to shame.

[si_irini@mastodon.social]

@rauschma

ok i choose other
for me it is
Greek and German

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@rauschma @ellohir diverse languages and diverse polling capability!

seems like a collaboration between you two champions would be a very cool bit of business. looking forward to the next poll.

[vorboyvo@mstdn.isometry.group]

@rauschma je me demande combien de gens parmi les (Other) parlent polonais comme langue maternelle, je me sens en avoir vu plusieurs

[vorboyvo@mstdn.isometry.group]

@rauschma en effet j'ai vu beaucoup d'anglais bien sûr, et de français, d'allemand, de polonais, d'espagnol, mais aussi d'hébreu et de néerlandais. peut être c'est une métrique de la population locutrice d'une langue qui parle bien l'anglais aussi

[vorboyvo@mstdn.isometry.group]

@rauschma relativement très peu de chinois, arabe, etc.

[vux55@mastodon.social]

@rauschma 普通话加方言，大部分中国人都是和我差不多这样的吧？台湾应该和中国差不多

[whitehattux@social.libre.ec]

@rauschma I know of a considerably sized spanish speaking community.

[jcastroarnaud@mathstodon.xyz]

@rauschma My native language is Portuguese (Brazilian).

[lizzard@social.tchncs.de]

@ellohir @rauschma depends on your instance's settings
