I want to know what languages everyone speaks just for my own reference. I am also curious of the german to american ratio. (Could someone please translate this message into german for me?)

What?! Both option didn't register, so if you speak both, just pick your native language.

I speak german mainly.
But the german/american ratio isn´t possible. I think we have many players from the U.K., Asia and Canada here. So this poll wouldn´t show you how many people are from the USA (not America, America is more than the USA

).
Better ask who speaks english, german or both. Or even other languages.
I also speak a "petit peut" french.
Au revoir,

Paul Laffing würde gerne, nur zu eigenen Zwecken, wissen, was für Sprachen ihr sprecht. Auch ist er neugierig, wie es um das deutsch/amerikanisch Verhältnis bestellt ist. Also nicht das politische, sondern das Vorhandensein in Illarion.

This poll is going to be English dominated... those that speak only german might not know what you are talking about... Just a thought.

da nun schon einige darauf hinwiesen das sie beide sprachen beherrschen und es dennoch keine übersetzung des ersten postings gibt *g* mache ich das mal schnell (auch wenns warscheinlich nicht wirklich nötig sein wird ^^).
Paul möchte einfach wissen welche sprache ihr da draussen denn so beherrscht. soll heissen, ist eure muttersprache deutsch, klickt german an, ist sie englisch, dann braucht ihr diese übersetzung nicht *gggg*.

Cuderon Translated it to Deutsch. And looking at the polls, you can see that.

I can speak german (native), english (with a heavy german "sound"

), a little bit italian and a few turkish words (I tried to learn turkish in preparation for my trip to Istanbul (Did I mention that Istanbul has 20 million inhabitants?.

))

I personally speak a little polish, a drop of spanish, a tiny hebrew, not to much german... Oh, and did i forget english?

I am only fluent in english

know some french and a bit of german though,

Only 3 people speak both?

If you mean both by "other" then it would seem so. "Other" tends to mean things not in the líst, and is usually in singular. As both german and english is in, people just choose their mother thongue...

It would have been better to say "Which of the following languages do you speak while playing Illarion" and have options "English only, German only or both"

Well, I speak german (native) and english almost fluent. I also spaek a little bit french, but not so good. What a pity, its such a pretty language.
