Polls to see What language most members on this forum belong to.


Urdu is my 1st language. I started learning english(A,B,C,D,.....) when i was in sixth class(grade as American would say). I know little Arabic I learned in school. I feel Urdu is most accommodating/absorbing language of all. It's so flexible coz it's very origin is based on multiple languages.

Please choose only one. I by mistake made it multiple choice.
May be Mods can make it single choice poll.

I personally feel that multiple choice is the only fair way as most members seem to be at least bi-lingual. I know I have difficulty in deciding which language I use the most. I seem to use English and Tex-Mex Spanish to about the same extent each.
 
French is my native language, and when I speak to my family, it is in French!!

But I have been living here in the USA for 4 years, and have been speaking English at University/work/significant other/friends, so I use English more(at least for now.)

I am beginning to learn Spanish, because Spanish is a common second language where I am. But it is easy for me, since it is a Romantic language, so the sentence structure is about the same and all!

Next year, I am expected to be back in Canada, and will speak French only.. My neighborhood in Quebec is exclusively French, and it is impolite to speak a different language! I hear that Parti Quebecois and Bloc Quebecois are gaining in popularity again, so hopefully one day my lovely Quebec will be its own country!!
