    Serious Question: What is your native language?

    .... and would you ever be willing to answer questions about it (via email/phone) from people who do research in it? This is for a mainstream project I am working on.

    I'm interested in knowing how linguistically diverse GFY is. I'll be bumping this thread periodically.

    Again, languages that you speak fluently (i.e., natively). A lot of Europeans are multilingual. If you are truly multilingual, list all your languages.

                                          English & Italian. Learned Italian as my first language. Mom sat me in front of Sesame Street daily when I was a kid and I learned English that way and was fluent in both English & Italian by 3-4.

                                          I've never taken an Italian class though so I don't know how to read and write it.

                                          I've visited there at least 5+ times and still speak Italian with my family. So I'm still very fluent.

                                          So "technically" I learned Italian first, but I consider English my primary and most fluent language.

                                            You're definitely bilingual. I wish I was. I wish I had been raised in Europe.

                                                Are there any African born webmasters on GFY? There are some very cool languages in that part of the world.

                                                    Please only list the languages you speak which you were never formally taught. i.e., the ones you picked up as a kid.

                                                      Don't feel bad. Most of us are like that. At least in Canada, you have mandatory French in your early school years (do they still do that?).

                                                        what iFlipcess really meant there is that she speaks both Tagalog and English, not Filipino...

                                                        so my answer would be the same as hers (Tagalog/English).
