@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.

@rauschma
Silesian.

@rauschma
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)

Waisay Google ne recently Punjabi Shahmukhi translation start kardi jo pehli nahi thee

@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?

[gilleslecorre@framapiaf.org]

@rauschma
C'est difficile vu que, français, j'ai appris à parler avec des vietnamiens

[pizzasquidwithatophat@mastodon.social]

@rauschma Swedish

[ekari@mementomori.social]

@rauschma Finnish

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@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

[milja@social.netdynamics.eu]

@rauschma
Other = Finnish for me.

English is only my 3rd and French 4th.

[best_parolanto@mastodon.top]

@mdione @rauschma please let us pretend french is still an international language. We are barely in the deny stage.

[resmo@mstdn.social]

@rauschma naja "viel" nid aber sogar der schweizer tatort ist in schweizerdeutsch (wobei ich den nie schaue weil schweizer können keinen guten tatort...)

schweizer haben generell eine art superpower um andere deutsche dialekte zu verstehen, wir sind das gewohnt. ich war grad aufner nordseeinsel und da war es dann schon schwieriger was zu verstehen.

@vux55 同意！在德国，方言渐渐消失。比如：我和我的弟弟都说一个方言，但是我的弟弟的女儿不会。我很好奇未来全球的方言会变成什么样。
