My native language is Bengali. I can read, write and speak in my native language. Our state language is Hindi which I can speak and also understand but cannot read or write well. English being an international language, you can easily understand that I can read, write and speak in that language. But what's about you. Let's know it.

Actually, the Hindi language same as the Tamil language? i always confused about that. My native is Mandarin Chinese, which i can speak, read and write in that language. Besides that, i also know Malay language and English language since i am a Malaysian. By the way, i'm now learning Japanese as my foreign language and i enjoy learning that.

Hello dear Wow2dong! I am from India. My native language is Telugu a Dravidian language from India. I can read, speak and write this language very well. Hindi being our National language we were taught in school as one of the compulsory language so I know that language too. I can read, write and speak that language without any problem. Since I was born and brought up in the state of Maharashtra I know the state language Marathi, which again I can speak, read and write. English is a language which was taught to u right fro my childhood and our medium of teaching were English. Naturally because of this I know to speak, write and read this language. My wife hails from West Bengal she is Bengali lady so I know that language also. I had a faint idea about this language before my marriage but having married her I developed the language and today I can speak, talk and write this language.
I can follow some other languages like Tamil, Punjabi, Haryanvi etc. from India, but I can't write or read these languages.
In India we have two distinct groups of languages one is known as Dravidian group and the other is Aryan group. The Dravidian languages are basically original Indian languages and they are spoken in the four states of south India, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala. The languages are Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Knnada. The Other languages spoken in India are Aryan languages which have entered India when Aryans invaded India some centuries back. In India we have about 820 languages which is a world record. It is very interesting to see that the language/ dialectics changes within few kilometers of the area.
Thanks for the discussion, I like participating in it!
