@Alex / catileptic and how do you identify them in an all english conversation?

[chaipanietc@mastodon.social]

@harib_murshidi @rauschma Hahahahahahaha, no there are many, but most of them are unconnected - also, internet is not supporting Urdu very much as Chief of Google is Indian and they are supporting Devanagari Font & Hindi over Urdu

@rauschma Finnish here. (The Finnish Fedi is quite active!)

[denniskuester@norden.social]

@rauschma Warum sollten viele Menschen im Fediverse ausgerechnet Französisch sprechen? Ich suche da gerade eine passende These.

My native tongue is Dutch, but I'm fluent in English.

@ChaiPaniEtc @rauschma

I don't think it has much to do with the chief of Google, local people don't work for it ! The most used #Urdu Software (InPage) came from #India, as well as the best online Urdu dictionary (Rekhta) . When somebody from here does something good it gets global recognition (the Sindhi keyboard was introduced by somebody from Pakistan)

@rauschma while I speak mostly English in fedi and French is my daily language, my native language is Portuguese.

[yora@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@rauschma There are 7 people in French speaking regions for every 10 people from German speaking regions in Europe.

With the English posting parts of Mastodon seeming a mostly European and North American thing this looks like the French aren't that far behind the Germans in being into this stuff.

[volibre@masto.bike]

@rauschma I had to chose between french and german... I feel kinda pointed at...

[anatudor@mastodon.social]

@rauschma Remarkable how many of us aren't from the Western world, huh?

@rauschma two reasons you have to take your result with a big grain of salt:

* the question is in English, so many (most?) people that speak those languages might not be able to read it, or even filter out the language entirely.
* even with 1.8k boosts (!!!), you might not reach all the fediverse[1]
* (The Spanish Inquisition reason) not everyone like answering polls

@rauschma
Other = Finnish for me.

English is only my 3rd and French 4th.
