Poll: What languages are you fluent in?
The first 10 languages listed are the languages with the most native speakers [1]. The way the other languages were chosen was somewhat biased, so please don't be offended if I skipped one of your languages.
Make sure to choose all the languages that you are fluent in.

- euccastro 16y agoGalician (a variant of Portuguese -- or vice versa, historically), English and Castillian ("Spanish"), which I've never used much, but know better than 90% of natives, since I live bombarded with it in a diglossic country.

- leon_ 16y agoC++
- j_baker 16y agoYou do not speak C++ fluently. If you did, you would know that ++C is faster in some circumstances and is generally to be preferred. :-)
- cperciva 16y agoActually, C++ is more likely to be faster than ++C, since C++ allows for greater instruction-level parallelism (the increment can be done later rather than being part of the critical path).
- j_baker 16y agoHrm... I suppose the C++ FAQ lied to me: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/operator-overloading.html#faq-13.15 http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/operator-overloading.h...
- kqueue 16y agoThat has absolutely nothing to do with the language.
- j_baker 16y agoIt was a joke (and judging by the reaction, apparently not a good one).

- rodp 16y agoSerbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin... :)
- WildUtah 16y agoIf you're a native English speaker, it's hard to find the motivation to learn another language. You can get along almost anywhere just on English and foreigners will usually be more interested in practicing English with you ahead of helping you practice whatever foreign tongue interests you. Nevertheless I think it was worth it. I acquired Spanish fluency as an adult and the experience continues to enrich my life. Spanish is a good choice for English speakers because it's the world's second most widespread language. It's also fairly regular and overlaps some English vocabulary. But you should, if you can find the time, try to learn at least one foreign language in your life, even if your first is the world's new lingua franca.
