Haha! I can speak the language of Music quite well myself.

It truly is a language
with syntax all it's own.

And I'm not speaking of lyrics.
I'm speaking purely of music itself.
I guess, really, I should have said
I am fluent and highly educated
in the syntax of Western Musics.

Mastery of Music Theory
is akin to the mastery of Grammar.
Of course eloquence
is a matter of how well you USE that Theory/Grammer
to Speak.

I speak Greek and Norwegian. I know little of others but not enough to live on in that country. My English sometimes goes wrong!

I speak English mostly... A few years back I wanted to learn German so I got the Rosetta Stone and some German Workbooks. I knew a lot of it back then but I can only say Good Morning and I love you now. I can make out a lot of words too but that is only because some of them are closely related to the spelling of the English version. I'm sad that I stopped learning because I love the language.

I would love to learn Italian and Ancient Sumerian or something. :)

Really?

I don't know how you are at speaking it, but your English writing is excellent. Better than most native English speakers I know.

English and Hebrew, fluently. Smidges of Yiddish, Spanish, French, Italian.

Not so much "speaking" as reading and writing: Aramaic, Latin, Middle English, Anglo-Saxon. Though my Latin and Saxon are both a bit rusty.

I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I can read Hebrew and am currently learning to speak both Hebrew (modern), Japanese, and Ladino (which is a sort of cross between Hebrew and Spanish).

Then again, I'm a (beginning) linguist. I've studied Latin but can't really read or speak it.

I was able to read Korean, but lost that ability when I stopped practicing, and it gets even more destroyed as I learn Japanese.

I understood what you were trying to get at. I do not have a mastery of it, but I have a very good understanding of it.

Hm, English first. I used to be quite fluent in Spanish; I had three years of it in high school, and I sometimes had to translate for my step-dad, who had Mexicans that worked for him, and some didn't know English. I'm quite fluent in Redneck. I used to know some Greek, but I haven't studied it in some time. I still know a little Arabic, but not much anymore. I want to learn Japanese and Mandarin, but right now I haven't found the time to do so.

I can speak American English and some Ebonics.

I'm currently trying to teach myself to read Hebrew. I'm learning the characters but it's not going too far.

My niece has a genius IQ. As a little black girl growing up in Brooklyn,NY she had a Jewish babysitter, so she would go with her sitters children to Hebrew school and learned Hebrew and Yiddish. It was so cute.
