Poll: What languages are you fluent in?

29 points by solipsist ↗ HN
The first 10 languages listed are the languages with the most native speakers [1]. The way the other languages were chosen was somewhat biased, so please don't be offended if I skipped one of your languages.

Make sure to choose all the languages that you are fluent in.

Otherwise, I speak mainly American English ;)

(I speak spanish well enough to have a conversation, but I wouldn't say I'm fluent. Got a 5 on the AP test in high school, but if you don't use it you lose it. :( )

Galician (a variant of Portuguese -- or vice versa, historically), English and Castillian ("Spanish"), which I've never used much, but know better than 90% of natives, since I live bombarded with it in a diglossic country.

You do not speak C++ fluently. If you did, you would know that ++C is faster in some circumstances and is generally to be preferred. :-)

That has absolutely nothing to do with the language.

It was a joke (and judging by the reaction, apparently not a good one).
younata
C, objective C, python

Technically, I know java, but after this semester, I'm done being forced to use it.

oh, I'm also fluent in English.

Japanese and English. Living in Japan for 10 years helps with your Japanese.

I also expected a poll on computer languages.

I selected "Other" for Hebrew.

rimantas
Lithuanian, English, Russian. I can understand Polish and speak a bit, but I am afraid this does not count as fluent :)
