@vux55 普通话还是一个方言？
@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

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 know of a considerably sized spanish speaking community.

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)

Boosts appreciated!@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.
