[SIZE=14.6667px]Crud, you guys found me! [/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.6667px]...actually, I'm a lot of things. How about I just say I'm "Eurasian" and we keep it simple? xD [/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.6667px]My first language was baby talk, so pardon my English. [/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.6667px]Okay, apparently that doesn't count, so I'll say "English".[/SIZE]

English and Telugu

 

[Harley Quinn]

English xD  

 

[Kae]

Cantonese.


But only as a spoken language though, my parents never taught me the writing and I grew up in a mix of English and Irish culture and language.

Wow that's cool.

 

[Flooffy]

So many different languages! 


Ahah, I'm happy that I'm most likely the only one on the site with my mother tongue xD

 

[Tardy Grade]

Tibetan (well a dialect of it at least)

 

[Mquery]

Tagalog.


Lots of Filipinos in this reply string.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

Tagalog, but now I never speak it. I only communicate purely in English.

 

[Obsessed]

Tagalog, but now I never speak it. I only communicate purely in English.

But do you understand it? Do you still also know how to speak it?


@Mathias No Bias Wow Cool! 


@Mquery Never really expected that 

 

[Historical Storyteller]

@Obsessed


Only a few words, I know how to speak it but I haven't tried recently.

 

[Tardy Grade]

@Obsessed Yeah I still dabble in it but mostly just to converse with my Grandparents.


English most, if not all the time with an inkling of Hindi (Quite a few Indian friends).

How about you Kid? (By which I mean if you are an active first lang speaker?)

 

[Obsessed]

@Heisenberg ah okay


@Mathias No Bias Yes, I am an active first language speaker. I speak Bisaya (dialect. Tagalog is my national language) everyday. I only speak Tagalog when I talk to other Filipino people who can't speak Bisaya (which is rare since i dont go outside )) and English to foreign nationalities and here. 

 

[myvalentina]

Spanglish 

 

[charleen]

Believe it or not, I was born in Mindinao, but I was raised in Manila, so I speak and write Tagalog. My mom speaks Bisaya though and I can roughly understand. Gamay ang alam ko.. hopefully gamay meant small in Bisaya haha ok but now I live in America. I can still speak it and write Tagalog somewhat clear. I'm kinda getting white-washed lol which makes me sad ;(

 

[Yuel]

Hueish.

Yes, gamay means small lol. I was born and grew up in Visayas, my dad in Mindanao (he speaks Bisaya too ;p). After I finished 6th grade, I transferred in the Middle East and was homeschooled. I think I'm going back to Philippines next year xd. 


Don't your parents talk Tagalog in your house? or something.
