What language do you speak best?

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 somewhat surprised but maybe I shouldnt be?

Boosts appreciated!@rauschma I can't speak my native language, because genocidal colonialism, so I selected English.

@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.

Boosts appreciated!@rauschma I do speak German, but you are asking about my native language and that is Russian. German is my second, English being third.
