If you could speak/read/write 16 languages fluently, which would they be?

If you could speak/read/write 16 languages fluently, which would they be?

You'd be fluent to the point of reading high brow literature, telling jokes successfully and understanding most local dialects of that language.

If 16 is too much, limit it to the ones you'd like most.

Spanish,French, Japanese, Hindi, Latin, Greek, Native American/Inuit, Dutch, Italian, and then basically enough to get by in Africa. I didn't list anything specific about africa because there's like 3,000 languages. They fall into 6 families though so I figure they must have similarities with other languages in that family.

What about you Wiccan Seeker, you didn't provide a list.

Old English is pretty easy once you understand structure.

Could always work backwards and try Middle English but that might just end up biting you.

Nou, mits goed gebruikt en met de juiste tongval gearticullerd is Nederlands een prachtige taal hoor! In het Nederlands heb je erg veel nuance, bijvoorbeeld het onderscheid tussen U en jij die beide "you" betenenen, maar dan bezien vanuit hogere en lagere rangorde. Nederlands geeft je ook een ingangetje naar het Vlaams, een prachtige gevoelsrijke taal die eenvoudiger te leren is vanuit het Nederlands dan vanuit het Engels.

Hier is een goed voorbeeld van Vlaams wat in het Nederlands perfect te verstaan is:



Het zijn prachtige talen, en innig verwant.

Encore! En Francais pour les Francophones:

I only speak english and some french, if I was going to put effort into learning another full language I would go with Japanese. And with the time it would take to learn 13 other languages I would spend doing japanese type stuff :ninja:
