I was just wondering what everyone's first language is, and the other languages that they consider themselves competent in. I think that sometimes language barriers can cause misunderstandings and conflicts between users, and I think it would be informative to know everyone's language background before passing judgement on their post's content.

My first language is English, and I know just enough spanish to be competent in written (although not so much verbal) conversation.

English, French, Arabic, Lebanese, and Hungarian.

Very minor knowledge in aramaic and syriac.

I can speak English et un peu français.

:confused: Farsi is not a kind of arabic, it's true it uses the arabic script and has many arabic loan words... but it's not at all a relative of arabic.
