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!

Boosts appreciated!@rauschma clumping *all* of the other language into one category pretty much guarantees it's going to be the largest one!

@rauschma I'm English with dual French nationality and speak French (despite a hideous accent). Spent a few years in Germany but never really picked up the language (in my defence, the languages where I worked were English and French). Also learned a spot of Other on the banks of Lago di Como, which was nice!
My daughter speaks all of them, and Dutch. Which is just showing off, really.

Boosts appreciated!@rauschma English (US), but trying to emigrate to France, so I'm learning French.
Not doing terribly at it, but once I start University it should get better.
