twincityhackerWhich language(s) do you currently speak? If you could learn only one other language, what would you choose, and why?
The only language I'm fluent in is American English. I can muddle though in Mexican Spanish. I've studied standard Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, and Southern Welsh. I also like to think I have a good grasp of British English, but I'm open to disagreement. = P
If I could only learn one other language, I would learn Welsh. All three dialects, obviously, as the differences between North, South, and Patagonian Welsh are really interesting and a good case study on how languages and their populations interact. Southern Welsh has borrowed some English phonemes that Northern Welsh hasn't. Patagonian Welsh is being heavily influenced by Argentinian Spanish. But! They are still comprehensible to one another.
This is baring time travel. If I could learn any language EVER, I'd learn the First Human Language. After poking around and seeing if there was a monogensis of language or not, obviously.
