In America we speak English its a little different from England's version.
And I was just wondering how many different types of languages are spoken in your county? What is your primary language, and how many of the other languages can you speak?

My parents know some dialects, but unfortunately they didn't taught us to speak it...
But I can understand a bit of it..btw, that dialect is called "Ilocano"..

India has many languages and most of the them have official language status and thus can be used for all official purpose as well as being spoken. Actually the many states of india have been formed on the basis of language and so each state has its own language. Apart from this, Hindi is the national language while English is fairly common in most places.

hi, I have heard of Kolata India before I think I heard of your city in a documentary or a movie I can't remember which one, I have met a few Indian people here in the States and one lady was also telling me about the many different languages. Another was a co worker and she would tell me different things in Hindi and in her own language man, trying to get the correct pronunciation was hard! but I love sanscript its so pretty, please excuse the misspelling not sure of the correct spelling.

I am from China. Here the most common and official language is Mandarin. But there are many dialects in my country. My first language is Cantonese. People come from different places in my country can use different dialects. This is why if you can speak in Mandarin, you can go around China because many people know it. English is our main foreign language. We have to study it from primary school until university.
I love China
