How many languages are spoken by people here?

.... we must be a rather multilingual community

[troels nybo nielsen]

I myself read, write, speak and understand Danish. And of course the Jutlandish dialect (why isn't there a Jutlandish Google?). Like most danes I understand, but do not speak, Norwegian and Swedish. (Norway and Sweden used to be governed by the danish queen Margrethe. Not the one we have now, though.) You may yourself judge my English. My German is a little worse. I read not too complicated French and Spanish.

Summing up this interesting thread in alphabetical order to see if we can get more members to post. The above can't be all since numerous nationals have posted in almost all country discussions in the European forum over the years, including Dutch, Hungarians, Greeks, Lithuanians, Belorussians, Ukrainians and Portuguese. I make it 18 languages so far:

Czech
Danish
English
Finnish
French
Hindi
Italian
Kannada
Latin
Mandarin
Norwegian
Polish
Romanian
Russian
Slovenian
Slovakian
Spanish
Swedish

Dialects not counted: Swiss-German, Swiss-Italian, Strine and Jive.
