Well....Dominant language is English,but....

Can speak some French, Japanese, and Hawaiian.

If I combine these three languages, I can make a totally new way of speaking!

Mr. President-Is Minangkabau spoken in the Phillipines, like Tagalog and Ilocano?

Close - it's widely used in the Indonesian provinces of West Sumatra, Jambi, and Bengkulu on the island of Sumatra (and the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan). It is one of a couple of thousand local languages in Indonesia which are used in people's family life and casual occasions (Indonesian being the language of education, business, and government) and one of the more closely related to Indonesian and Malaysian.

I speak and write English without difficulty.

I can understand most French and Spanish when written and spoken (coherently).

I can speak in broken French and extremely broken Spanish.

I cannot write French or Spanish worth a damn.

Old Frisian and Old English (or, at least, the language *spoken* by the Angles, not the language written by the Saxons) are practically the same thing.

Indeed, Frisian is still the language closest to English.

Obviously I speak Dutch a little!

I'll manage in French, be it barely. Je voudrais deux baquettes, síl vous plaît!
I speak a bit of Papiamento, which is the local language of Aruba (where my father's from).
I also learned a few phrases of Shona, a local Zimbabwean language, while I was there. Ndipei Vakadzy
And there's English of course.

Swedish as a native, Hungarian as a native but with rather limited vocabulary (which may seem like a contradiction, but isn't really- I can instinctively know the correct grammar and pronounciation of hungarian, since I've spoken it from childhood, but much of the advanced language escapes me). French at high school level, mostly forgotten.

In terms of vocabulary English is probably the language I know most of.

Damn, you're a pimp! Are you Indonesian? Why'd/How'd you learn Indonesian?

Since I live in Hawaii, I'm required to learn some Hawaiian. Since my family is Nihongin (Japanese), I wanted to learn Japanese. And since French is [relatively] easy in college, I'm taking French.

Mais, J'ai tre mal!

That's quite interesting that Hawaiian is required. Even in Wales, Welsh isn't a required study area.

quote: Damn, you're a pimp!

Er, thanks! My father is in fact Indonesian, and I lived there for a short time many years ago when I was too young to remember it.

All the French I know is "Omelette du frumage, sil vous plait". I used to know how to say "Hands up!" in Russian. That's much more useful.

"Omelette du fromage"?

Wasn't that on Dexter's Laboratory? When he was listening to that French album and it got stuck on that saying?

Nah, that's cool that you can speak an Indonesian language.

Sorry, but in Apolyton, I keep on using local slang in my postings!

Over here, calling someone a "pimp" means that they are "The Man". It is generally a compliment here.

Oh, well, thanks! I doubt I'm truly worthy of the accolade of pimpdom.

I don't think I saw that episode of Dexter's Laboratory. Have you seen the movie Top Secret? At the beginning, this guy is listening to one of those language-learning tapes for German, and the phrases it's teaching him are things like "I want a schnauzer with my wienerschnitzels".
