母語は？what´s your mother tongue?

[john2]

It’s a language other then English by popular consensus.
わたしはドイツゴですか？
//technically german and english both are my native language and I speak badly in either of them.

[Mür]

Basque... anyone else speaks it around here?

Really Basque???? I have a friend (from Barcelona also) that really likes Basque and wants to study it. I think it's weird and interesting, but I won't start studying it because I think I would not be able to maintain so many languages I know... (Catalan, Spanish, English, Japanese, Finnish (I'm in Finland now), Chinese)

By the way, my mother tongue is Catalan.

My mother tongue is Portuguese. But I speak English nearly as well. I study English since my 5th grade(I'm in 9th now) so I don't need the dictionary all the time. I love to learn new languages, but Spanish is killing me! It so identical to Portuguese that I confuse everything! But I got a good mark in my last test, I just have to study hard. I think Japanese is easier than Spanish because it has nothing to do with Portuguese! I'd like to learn German too. And maybe Mandarin.

Hi! Hadjimemashite!
My native language is Romanian.
I also speak some Portuguese and I am quite fluent in Spanish (not the writing part though )
I've lived in Portugal for about a year and a half and I miss it so much. It's a beautiful place with great people and the beaches are to die for

[Ban]

My native language is Arabic, but I speak English 'almost' as perfect as a native

マレー語です。

[aikankoku]

Spanish, but I've recently improved my English and French.

I kind of speak Korean and Latin and I'm planning on learning Chinese some day.

I've heard Romanian is similar to Portuguese and Spanish... how similar is it? I can understand about 80% or more of written Portuguese and Italian even though I've never studied them but they are quite similar to Spanish... is it the case with Romanian?

Which language is it more closely related to?

[blutorange]

　　　　　　　　ドイツ
German/Deutsch/独逸語 here.
I like it how the Japanese word for German resembles the German, not English one : )

[Gudafa]

フィンランド語です！
My 母語　(yay I learned a new word, thanks to rikaichan ^^) is finnish I saw at least somebody here who mentioned he/she can speak finnish. Anyone who has problems with finnish or whatever questions, feel free to PM me! (Advertising, tee-hee)

[mad_hatter]

My mother language is also portuguese XD

I feel the same way about all the languages I speak. Sometimes I can't think of a word in Swedish or English even though I know how to say it in Japanese.

I also feel like there's a ton of useful words in all languages that seem to just exist exclusively in one language, hence why I mix some English words into my Swedish sometimes >_<

[aethernity]

Mandarin Chinese is my mother tongue, and English is my first language! (in Singapore they make you learn both in schools haha)
