Aside from English, I am curious as to what language is most widely spoken by members since we are such a diverse group.

In that language is there a specific dialect or flavor?

Aside from my expert Engrish, I can vaguely understand German. Terrible at writing it, and I probably only use the proper article (der, die, das) about 1/3 of the time laugh.gif

I speak Norwegian and English. At school I studied French for 5 years (but I am lousy at it and I don't remember much). I've also been learning japanese for a couple of years, but I am only learning smile.gif

Besides english I can speak german (my mothertongue). Since I am from the northwest (called Muensterland) I can speak with a northern dialect, which would still be very understandable even when you just learned the language. Now I live in the southwest where people speak a really weird dialect and I honestly don't always get what they say laugh.gif
I used to be good at french, I can still read it at a good level and also understand most of what people would say to me in french, but talking in french is pretty tough smile.gif
I am learning spanish at the moment, and I gotta say I understand pretty much when I read or listen to someone, I think it's because some words are similar to the french or even english words, just pronounced differently.
I also speak a tiny bit of japanese and am cuurently working on that as well.

Well i'm speaking, ich spreche, je parle, English, Deutsch (German) and française (french).

But i hope no one try to speak french with me, because i learned it in school and forgot almost everything.

Where i live in Germany the people speaking two different dialects depending on the different regions in the state "Baden-Württemberg":

Badisch oder Schwäbisch (Baden or Swabian).

I try to avoid to speak one of these two dialects and speak standard german instead (high german, gitarrero called it northern dialect smile.gif

Irish, Castellano and English:

Irish - but I'm very rusty as no one that I know speaks any.

Castellano (or what most people think of as Spanish). I tend to use the Andaluz dialect - I drop 's' that are on the end of words and pronounce things like 'j' as harder than someone from outside of Andulicia might. I sometimes go with the very local version, which is very fast and full of local slang.

In Castellano people say, 'Buenos dias'
In Andaluz it's, 'Bueno dia'
Very local version is, 'Bue'.

English - very rusty...

My wife can speak English, Castellano and French, my daughter can speak English and Castellano and my mother can speak Cantonese, English, German, Russian and Arabic.

Apart from my native English I can do a little bit of German.. enough to make myself understood.

Most of the French I did at school I've forgotten.

A little bit of 'dojo' Japanese wink.gif

That is pretty amazing. It is broader than I expected. It also seems that if you are from Europe it is more natural to learn multiple languages.

I have thought it would be good to learn another language, but honestly I think I would loose it like many have said about French.

With all of that it is amazing how music transcends it all.

Thanks for everyone's input. I suppose being in America, it will be good to learn Spanish.
