What languages are spoke in your area?

I'm in Victorville, CA and when I moved here in 1990 95% spoke English and now its primary Spanish then English, even in schools now, my sons elementary school sends news letters home once a month and at the start there would be a English one and a Spanish one seperate, now its Spanish front page and turn over its English. I love the fact that America is diverse, but I think we need to all come to a common ground with language and not assume that every English speaking person needs to learn Spanish to get around, and the Spanish speaking should try harder to learn English.

Thats a bunch of crap, not getting hired because you don't know other peoples (not from here) language. They should have to learn our language. If I moved to another country, I feel I should learn their language. They shouldn't have to learn my language to acomodate me, I would be the outsider. Its like that in Southern California too, you have to be bi lingual down there too. Mexicans are the majoity not the minority. I am not saying that to be racist neither, I am far from be a racist. I just think that others should learn our language or at least try to learn when they choose to live here.

I'm from Israel and the language here is Hebrew. You can hear here all kind of languges because people come to Israel from all the world.I for example speak Hebrew,English and Polish.

I am from Guangzhou, China. Here the main dialect is Cantonese. And Mandarin is also a common language here. I love China

In the Philippines, the main language is Filipino. It was the Tagalog dialect that was our national language before and then changed it lately to Filipino, which is the different dialects spoken in the country. We have Cebuano, Visaya, Chabacano, Ilocano to name a few. I can speak Tagalog, and Cebuano. Of course, English is the medium of communication in schools and colleges here...

In the state Tamilnadu where i live in south india we speak tamil. In the states around us they speak malayalam, kannada and telugu. All these originated from one language. The national language of india is Hindi. Many of us know english. So India is a language rich country isnt it?

I am from India I reside near its capital. Well this country is famous about the vast variety of languages it has in here. More than hundred languages are spoken here. The place where I live the most common language used here is "Hindi", apart from that people in this area speaks... "Tamil", "Bengali", "Urdu", "Malayalam", "Tibetan", "Telugu"..pheww.... and many more cause in this area where I live its a mix of people from all other states of this country... The languages that I have actually learned in school are "Hindi", "Sanskrit" and "English".. And apart from that I am kind of able to understand certain words from the above mentioned languages as I had friends who new one or the other languages (mentioned above) :)

for a long time up here it was only english,gaelic,and portuguese. i'm not sure if the narragansetts have retained their language. now,it's english,all kinds of spanish varients,and portuguese. most of the gaelic speakers seem to have left.i think we also have russian summer workers too.

I live in Finland, and here we speak Finnish and Swedish as main languages, but you also hear russian and romanian talked often. I can talk finnish, english and swedish.

well since i came from the philippines, i speak the Filipino language. =) there are a lot of dialects here and i can understand and speak 3 of them. =) and since English is also our second language, we can understand, speak and write in english as well. English is part of our school curriculum that's why we get to learn it since grade 1. and it comes in handy because i'm in Australia right now and i think it helps me lot here. i would really love to learn other languages as well like French, Spanish and Mandarin. so when i get to visit other countries, i get to speak and understand (even just a bit) what they're saying.

I live in the Philippines. Because we are an archipelago, there are many different dialects spoken in different places. However, Filipino is our national language. A lot of people often mistake the national language to be Tagalog, but this is just one of the many dialects spoken here. We Filipinos are also very good in English having been educated by the Americans some thousands of years ago. As for myself, I speak English, Filipino and Chinese.

Where I live people speak Portuguese as their main language,but I attend an International University so I speak English and used to live in a country where English is the main language.
