  Language War.

It's that time of year again folks for the first annual Vast Empire Language War. Yes I know that made next to no sense, but I'm gonna roll with it anyways.

Let's see what language(s) everyone speaks and in the end which one comes out on top.

I'll start things off.

English is my native language. Over the years I've learned some Spanish, and some Gaelic. I also used to know a decent amount of American Sign Language but without anyone to use it on I've forgotten pretty much all of it. However I still think Russian beats German. Sorry Avvie.

English is my first (and really only) language. However I learned Spanish in school though German was my first choice. The classes were full for every language except Spanish so I took two years of it.... and promptly forgot all of it >.>

I had taught myself some German at one point, but I am sad to say that I don't remember much of anything.

Deustch ist besser Joamer. Du kennst es ist wahr. Du nicht kannst entkommen.

For the record I'm sure that was grammatically incorrect.... and probably horribly so. I need to teach myself again.

English is my mother tongue (discounting High Valyrian), but i know Tetun - the language of East Timor - almost fluently with passable Bahasa Indonesia and tiny bits of Brazilian Portuguese.. Not to mention the Mando'a <_<

Let's see... English, chunks of Latin and Mexican Spanish, and I taught myself Ewok at one point.

Oh, and I'm working on a language from scratch.

My native language is french, growing up here in the states I sorta reverted to English, I still know french well enough to get around well. I also know, Spanish (All of the dialects, Spanish has minor variations from place to place.) And Turkish. I cast my vote for Hades though.

Whoa now, Hades. Whoa now. Gotta go on the first date before any of that.

Now Turkish. That is pretty cool. I should also mention I attempted to learn Czech at one point and couldn't take it. I'm sure that disappoints Mox.

English.
Passable Spanish.
Beszelek egy kicsit Magyarul. (A little of my Hungarian mothertongue.)
Bi Mongol hel dagan medne. (A bit of Mongol.)

I have bits and pieces of Gaelic from my Irish and Scots sides and Mandarin as well, but not as much as I'd like.
Used to know a little conversational Te Reo Maori, but don't remember much.
I'd love to be able to complete the turko-magyar-mongol trifecta, but I just have too much on my plate.

I speak English fluently, and have a convincing command of many of its dialects.

I can usually at least understand Spanish, if I just keep begging the speaker to go more slowly.  "Más despacio, por favor," over and over.

German is rad, but a tough nut to crack for someone doing the self-guided learning approach.  But I'm told my accent is spot on.

Tryk... I am caught between never speaking to you again and laughing really hard. It's a strange feeling.

And yeah, German is not exactly the easiest to learn. A lot of it is memorization. Not all of the verbs make sense, and don't even get me started on gendered nouns....

I also have absolutely no talent at mimicking accents in any form.

Well, like many Brits, English is my first language.  I studied both French and German at school but am terrible at both.

My only other real language is Japanese that I use everyday while here in Japan.  Alas, almost five years here now and I'm barely able to get by

Oh, and in terms of who I vote for: anyone with Valyrian or Mando'a!

Well, growing up in England, naturally learnt English as my first tongue. Then I learnt French in school (as well as a bit of Russian, Japanese, Spanish and Latin. Yes: Latin.), and moved to a French speaking country (Senegal), where I learnt German, a bit of Wolof and Saffi (local languages) and Quenya (Tolkien's High Elven, which we used to send secret messages in class). Then I started RPing sometime after that, and taught myself Mando'a. I also went out to Nicaragua on a mission trip (to build a school in a swamp), where my Spanish suddenly improved.

Currently, however, my languages have degraded somewhat. So in order of knowledge:

1. English
2. Deutsch
3. Francais
4. Mando'a
5. Espanol
6. Japanese (having a girlfriend who uses it all the time (even though she's British), and studying Ninpo Taijutsu, helps)
7. Latin
8. Saffi
-  Wolof
10. Quenya
11. Russian

Joamer is European?

And don't worry if you shout loudly and slowly enough, even those people in Europe who don't speak english will be able to understand you. Fact.

I actually  used to be able to speak German fairly well, it's a piece of piss to learn. It has mostly left my memory from 12 years of disuses.

(Despite working with many German academics, English is generally used over there as the language for research)

My native language is Polish(probably the only one here :P), but I learned English pretty easily. I used to know both German and Spanish, but forgot both of them(though I might pick some Spanish words up).

So yeah:
1. Polish
2. English
3. Spanish(though not even at a basic level ¬_¬)
4. German(forgotten though)

Both Saffi and Wolof are at number 8. But that means I can't have a number 9, because Wolof takes up that slot, even though it is a number 8.

Make more sense now?

If not, look at scoreboards for races, or matches: join positions are marked by a hyphen, like mine.

I can say that I'm quite possibly the lease knowledgeable one here when it comes to languages. I don't think I really have the mind for languages, even though I've conquered a stupidly contradictory language like English. Obviously, English is my first language. And that's about it, haha. I took four years of Spanish in high school, but surprisingly little of it stuck with me. For a little while, I was going to learn Mando'a, but the practical implications of knowing it were few.
