Anyone here speak or write a different language?

Cool, I'm taking a linguistics module at uni this semester and I'm enjoying it!

Anyway to answer the question, I speak English, Mandarin, Hokkien (it's supposedly a Chinese "dialect"), and I've been learning Japanese for about a year now. I took Spanish last semester and thought it was pretty cool, but I didn't have enough interest to continue, so my very rudimentary Spanish allows me to greet you and tell you that you have pretty long hair. LOL.

Yup that sounds about right, heh, but I'm no expert.

 

It's called slang....completely different from dialect...

 

Since you seem to be a Filipino, find time, if you can, to go to the University of the Philippines, Diliman Campus. Once there, go to my College, the Arts & Sciences Department, Faculty Center or FC. Inside on the second floor, the Linguistics department, you can find this big map of the Philippines showing the ten prevailant languages in the country, the map is there to show the distribution of areas using each Language

Update::

I don't really know if my College department has heard of this, but according to Wikipedia there appears to be 13 Languages in the Philippines!

When did they add the 3 new ones!! I've got to ask my Professors about this, anyway here's the Wikipedia link to settle this:
