@fartnuggets Definitely a global language!

@ellohir Nice! I can see that poll but I can’t create such a poll myself.

@wfk True! I thought they were the same, but "first language" seems like an overall better/clearer term.

@resmo Bin immer wieder überrascht wie gut Schweizerdeutsch klingt und wie wenig ich verstehe! Deutsche Dialekte nehmen gefühlt stark ab (ich spreche auch Bayerisch), aber in der Schweiz ist ja sogar viel Fernsehen in Schweizerdeutsch.

@NullTheFool ¡Disculpe! Tenía que elegir: https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma/117430069059928752

@mdione Apologies for the silly joke: I’m pretending that “Other” is a language.

@politipet C’est déjà pas mal je dirais ! (Vu le nombre de personnes germanophones et anglophones qui me suivent.)

It’d be very interesting to do a proper survey with a representative sample and an open set of languages!

@farah Nice! I recently came across that language when reading about Mamdani’s campaign in New York City: There seems to be a sizable Bengali community there.

@marioostolaza Just a random selection forced by Mastodon only supporting a maximum of four options. It’d be interesting to do a proper survey with many more languages! ¡Parece que hay una gran comunidad hispanohablante aquí!

@thepurpleoctopus You may not be able to see the edit I made a few hours ago: “If you have more than one native language then check the one that you speak better and/or the one that is listed below.”

@sergidefe Alas, Mastodon surveys only support 4 choices. It’d be awesome to do a survey with a much longer list of languages!

(Por ejemplo, estoy seguro de que mucha gente habla castellano en el Fediverso.)

@crossgolf_rebel You can: https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma/117429942971637144

@catileptic I recently watched an interview with Sebastian Stan (*) in Romanian. It sounded interesting—a bit like Portuguese to my (ignorant) ears. I recognized some words from French and Spanish (which is not surprising—it is a Romance language after all).

@PhoenixSerenity I recently read about the movie “Dear You” being successful in China—which I found interesting! It’s mainly in Teochew, IIRC.

@fabos You may not see the edit I did a few hours ago: I initially wrote “Mastodon” and then changed it to “Fediverse”.

@tinitun @sagilca ¡Sí, tiene/tenés razón!

@irina Leuk!

@vux55 普通话还是一个方言？

@hengstenberg Daj, qatlho’!
