I am marathi spoken guy and I can speak,
read & write five languages in all.
English
Hindi,
Marathi,
Telagu,
Gujrathi.
But I am little poor at english.
I mean I can't write with words which weigh high.
I translate my thoughts in english with a little vocabulary & simple english.
Wishing you a fun & pleasure in every language equally.

My mother tongue is English as I am from England. It is a Germanic language in origin not Latin as has been suggested elsewhere, although it is heavily influenced by both Latin and Old French, still it is considered good English to use a word of Germanic origin in preference to a Latin one. Occasionally, a rather pretentious version of English is heard with excessive use of Latin words included in a sentence. This makes the language sound clumsy and hinders meaning. As, well as the influences mentioned above it has imported many words from other languages, Norse, Polish, etc.
It is the most wide spread language in the world and also the language most capable of being spoken, though not the most widely spoken as a first language. It is also the language of air and naval navigation and is widely used in business, diplomacy, the internet, philosophy and science thus it has become the Linga Franca. It has an astonishing amount of words offering an unsupassed richness, subtlety and accuracy of expression. Indeed, it has been suggested that a native speaker graduating from a UK university has a personal vocabulary in excess of the total vocabulary of some other European languages.
all the best urban
