This week's poll was suggested by 狂気. You may not like how some languages are included in families while others are individual, but deal with it. Well, we ARE an English site...

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)

Kinda obvious english will get the highest % here, but for it's french.

I find it kind of funny that you managed to include most European languages, either in families or individually, but being Italian I still had to vote "others". 😀

wow the dutch language is even mentioned ;p oh well it makes it easier to click for me 🙂

Malayo-Polynesian here, or specifically: Bahasa Malaysia.

(-_-)?

German here, will be interesting to see the final results of this poll 😃

Catalan is my native language.

I'm Russian, though I moved to Canada when I was 23. I'm pretty surprised that currently Slavic languages are first after English, though might be time difference, lets see results in a week.

I voted "other", because...
This poll will work for most people ...but not us who grew up multi-lingually.
To be fair, it would probably get too messy, if you take us into account (an "multiple" option would have been good though).

I have two "native" languages, though I've learned three languages, as "First Languages" (as opposed to ones you learn as a Second Language).
Kurdish (Indo-Persian. Closely related to Persian) is my mother tongue, Swedish is the language of the country where was born and raised (and where I remain)
...and while I am not a native speaker of English, I learned it as a First Language.
We had a bunch of British TV channels, for some reason, which had plenty of kids shows. I could chat away in English, well before it would count as a Second Language. Heck, I don't know that I couldn't do it, from about as soon as I started to learn how to talk ...just that an appropriate opportunity didn't present itself.

BTW: I get really annoyed by the fact that English kids shows/movies are always dubbed, in non-English speaking countries. People argue "but they can't read" or "but they can't read quickly enough" ...to which I respond "why would they need to read!?". I certainly never had a problem ...and that wasn't because I was unique or special in any way.

I was born and live in England, but my native language is Punjabi and more generally (country as opposed to state): Hindi.

EDIT: @zarlan - Good point, I probably should have been paying more attention. Thanks anyway.

Quote from CheshireCaine

I was born and live in England, but my native language is Punjabi and more generally (country as opposed to state): Hindi.

In what possible way could the language of the country you were born and raised in, which you learned from birth, not count as your native language?
If you look up the meaning of the terms "native" and "native language"...
If anything, it could be argued that English but not Punjabi, counts as your native language.
Your mother tongue, however...

This is funny because yesterday I was just watching a video of a guy speaking more than 10 languages on youtube (laoshu50500).

Anyway, my native language is Spanish. My parents are from China, but I was born in Panama (Central America). Before, I could speak Chinese too, but now I've forgotten how to speak it.

I had to vote "others" because you have included all the possible European languages but not Italian 😐 Anyway...I'm pretty sure English will be the winner 😀

Russian is my native language, although since I came to Israel at a pretty young age,
Hebrew is as close to it as it gets.

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.
