What language do you speak best? (Hypothesis: There are many French & German speakers in the Fediverse.)
Boosts appreciated!

@rauschma I I wish you would have used “mother tongue” instead of native language.
After living in Canada for the last 23 years I now consider english my native language instead of my original mother tongue: Arabic

@elie True! Terminology is hard. When writing the post, I hadn’t considered all of the aspects of someone speaking a language: Is it the only language they speak? Is it their first language? Is it the language they speak best? Is it maybe not spoken at all (=sign language)? Etc.

@elie What I’m interested in is which language people speak best. I’ll edit the post.
