Fealiks Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 erm yeah... I was getting to that.... English is the most common trade language, and, indeed, the international trade language, but Mandarian Chines is the most widely spoken language.
Joshi Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Which is exactly why I said it's the second most spoken language in the world.
Skinkie Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I speak Hamster, it's one of the least spoken languages in the world. Sqeak sqeak
Peff Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 You guys mean galactic Basic! ... Right ? I know this is ^very^ off topic but Peff, you are from Norway and yous speak fluent english even though you are only 15, which is impressive. Sorry , I just had to get that off my chest It's not that impressive ? Or ?I have not learned anything in these tiny English lessons we've got at school through the years. Crappyish teachers.. When I was about.. 5-6 years old, I was walking around and saying Monkey island quotes. Everything from "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" too "A rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle... What possibly use could that have" I had no idea what I was saying... So. I guess I have learned most of the English via forums, games and talking to English people. Norwegian schools sucks. Which is exactly why I said it's the second most spoken language in the world This is from 1999 : Chinese* (937,132,000) Spanish (332,000,000) English (322,000,000) Bengali (189,000,000) Hindi/Urdu (182,000,000) Arabic* (174,950,000) Portuguese (170,000,000) Russian (170,000,000) Japanese (125,000,000) German (98,000,000) French* (79,572,000) English is crawling uppon the list ^^
DarthAve Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I speak Hamster, it's one of the least spoken languages in the world. Sqeak sqeak So, I speak owl. hoot, hoot, O RLY? Still, we're all great looking people. If only the beautiful people looked on this website, we'd be so taken.

Alien426 Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 You might. Norwegian schools sucks.German schools don't actually encourage you to learn stuff that interests you, either. I'd like to thank Amazon for providing an easy method of buying English books. I had decided to do a paper on an English book in 1995/96. My teacher had to contact a friend of his and have him send it over. Took some time. Amazon has enabled me to read a lot of great books in their original language.
Ray Jones Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 (yeah, I'll stop now) Oh no, you will not have done so... I just don't get Joshi

Yes, people should listen to less Panic! at the Disco and more Queen. ~subliminal message about listning to Queen and playing more Psychonauts~ that is all ~click~
Fealiks Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I'd just like to get off the topic of emo, so: Rawr. there thats better. This is from 1999 : Chinese* (937,132,000) Spanish (332,000,000) English (322,000,000) Bengali (189,000,000) Hindi/Urdu (182,000,000) Arabic* (174,950,000) Portuguese (170,000,000) Russian (170,000,000) Japanese (125,000,000) German (98,000,000) French* (79,572,000) English is crawling uppon the list ^^ Whoa... no way did Spanish have 10 million more speakers than English 7 years ago... the stats I was using are recent, I think 2005 so erm... yeah... cool... or something.
