English. I can learn it easily. I also like Italian, it is a nice language, but its grammar is quite hard.

Well first of all, I love Serbian because it is my mother language. Then I have English and that's all for me, so I voted on other because Serbian is number 1 for me. :D

Japanese. I just love a language that soft-spoken and still powerful and full of  variety.

English is the next because it actually has an easy to use and learn basic vocabulary, and also because it's very depictive.

it doesn't count when you only speak one language and only know a little of another language :rolleyes: ;)

I liked French and Mandarin...  French is a very soft, soothing language, and it's beautiful to speak and listen to, while Mandarin is extremely expressive and emotional.  Spanish i never liked, probably because more people speak it here nowadays than speak English :doubt:

English is also a good language though ;)

yeah, I hate spanish too ( got a 4/20 for my bachalauréat - the one major exam in the life of a french. Useless to get a job, but makes you about useless if you don't have it, go wonder... ).

i reckon it'd be pretty cool to be able to speak fluently in ancient egyptian or mesopotamian or some other random old time language... too bad no one'd understand you, though.

I'm something of an idiot when it comes to the coding itself - I do pseudo-coding and the like, but very little of the actual groundwork in the code. My brother, though, wouldn't have it any other way - so I let him go with Python. And boy am I glad, it's damn powerful. :)

as i said above, insulting people with diseases ain't my idea, i just noted what were commun insults and curses. cancer ain't really the first, it started with some things that i can't translate.

In Miami, Spanish ownz.  Then again, the population is mostly hispanic.  English and Spanish were both my first language.  I was born here, but parents weren't so spanish was the language I spoke at home.  Decades later, I think I speak 70% spanish and 30% english.

W/ my girlfriend, her family, and my family I speak spanish.  With my friends I speak english, but at work I do both.  I took a couple of years of French in highschool but that was too long ago for me to remember :D

Probably for its readability, intelligent design, excellent object model, broad built in module support, ease of integration with other languages and wide platform support.

Oh, yes. And it rocks. ;)
