@griff
I can fill in such a survey, but I can’t create it on my Mastodon instance. -
@rauschma
It can allow more options, but I believe that that has to be enabled by the instance admin. -

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. -

Boosts appreciated!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.

@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

@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'm looking forwards to the day where it won't be surprising anymore for native German / French / English speakers to learn that folx with other native language share the same digital space as them ^^ here's to more diversity
@Alex / catileptic and how do you identify them in an all english conversation? -
Other with a native language Urdu
@ChaiPaniEtc kabhi lagta hay sirf idhar 2 banday hi hain Pakistan se
@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
