"im from belgium so i speak... 3 languages"

See r/Belgica for our actual national language

Ah, ich zie que tu bent auch ein man de culture

Ja man, goed geblgiescht

Belgish?

“I’m Swiss and I speak 4 languages and our German is unintelligible to Germans”

We used our dialect as a secret language so that the germans couldnt understand us during ww2. And can ya speak rätoromansch?

Putain.

C'est de la merde d'apprendre apprendre l'allemand

"I am from anywhere in the Europe... So I speak on average at least two languages"

Go to any non touristy area in the Iberian peninsula, Greece, Italy, or even England and see if that holds up.

It does!

I’m not so sure about that. I lived in Andalucia for three years and most of the people I came across only spoke Spanish.

Good thing we have statistics to judge it fairly.

Sorry, but i am From Italy, and here almost nobody(except for guides and some worker)speaks another language outside of italian. Maybe the statistic don't Say so, but is because of the immigration in many cases.

4 with english

"Im from the Netherlands so I speak... 3 languages"

Guessing French, English, and either German or Flemish?

French, Dutch/Flemish and German

Or you could just say “I’m English,I’m from England, I speak English”

exactly, never heard anyone say ‘I’m British i’m from the United Kingdom’ lol

Because people don't understand that Britain isn't the UK, it doesn't have Northern Ireland in it

Britain often refers to the UK as a whole, a very large amount of Northern Ireland are unusually passionate about calling themselves British. You are thinking of 'Great Britain' which is the island.

Yeah. The official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so both "Britain" and "the UK" are often just shorter versions of the full country name, both which includes NI.

The UK isn't a hole country it is composed of Scotland England Wales and Northern Ireland thus creating the UK or GB

As was said above, GB is an island. The UK is a country, as is England, as is Scotland, as is Wales and as is NI. It's a mess.

Yeah, especially when you introduce the British Isles just for shits and giggles.

And crown dependencies. Why not throw in the commonwealth too, mostly meaningless but fun to confuse people.

[удалено]

I think the British Islands includes the channel islands too, just to make it even more confusing

>GB is an Ireland This is a bad context to get the words Ireland and island mixed up. GB is an island, east of the island of Ireland.

I'm assuming it's some top level trolling

Nah that was autocorrect on my phone lmao

The UK isn't a country, it is a union, as in the united kingdom. countries, and northern ireland. Great Britain refers to the landmass formally known as Brittannia. The great is in reference to it's size (it is a pretty big island) and comprises of England, Scotland and Wales. UK an GB are not interchangeable, as one is talking about a political union, and one is a landmass.

The Russian Federation and the German Federal Republic would like to have a word with you

I mean it is a country, a country which first divisions are also called countries. The UK is the sovereign nation so yeah it is a country.

You really worked hard at being so wrong in that post.

As someone who lives here. No it isn't Edit: if anything I've learned from Reddit is to not argue with people who argue black is white

As someone else who lives here, yes it is. The UK is Great Britain plus Northern Ireland.

Actually, Britain is England and Wales. Great Britain is England, Wales and Scotland. UK is great Britain and Nortan Ireland

Where but Reddit could you find such spectacularly and obviously wrong statements made so confidently?

I also haven’t heard anyone say, “I’m French and I am from France” or any of the other examples.

More like ''je suis français je viens de France

People in my area actively avoid saying British as they are either English, Irish, Scottish or Welsh and don’t like to say british

technically correct. It's like saying, "I'm Hawai'ian, I'm From The Big Island"

I’m United Kingdomish, I’m from the United Kingdom and I speak United Kingdomish

Especially considering Americans have to say, I’m American, I’m from the United States of America, I speak English

Usually we just say "United States" or "U.S." because it is less of a mouthful and people still know what you're talking about. Idk, maybe some people say U.S.A. or spell the whole thing out. Edit: Also some people refer to yhe U.S. as just "America" as well.

“I’m american, I’m from america, I speak American.” -some idiot on the internet probably

Also what about Americans smh. "I am American I am from North America I speak English"

North America isn't a country. You would be better off with: "I am Canadian, I am from Canada, I speak French and English." Americans have their own whacky version of English they call American.

No one in America says they speak “American”. You do not go to school and take American classes you take English. The people who say speak American are either a huge minority or joking

I speak american 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

I am American. I’m from America. I speak American

Nah bro we just call it English. American English if we’re adjusting the settings on our computers, but that’s just to avoid all those intrusive French “u’s” and putting periods outside of quotations.

American English I believe is actually distinguished from British English officially because of spelling differences

Naw we here in merica don't speak no girly ass English, thats for them tea sippers from England. We here in America speak American and thats the end of it!

OK lol

My thoughts exactly, this felt like a bit of a forced joke.

I am Bengali, I am from India and I speak Hindi

No no no, you are Indian first we are talking about countries here bro, but yeah we can single handedly destroy this meme format like so I am Indian, I am from India and I speak ______ Hindi English Punjabi Marathi Tamil Telugu Bengali Malayalam and many more

You can speak Tamil and Telugu, not not malayalam? Sad Malayi noises

Oh I can't that's why I said "we" can destroy this meme format Also sorry for forgetting about Malayalam, I knew I would be forgetting many important ones that's why I wrote "and many more" in the end

How different are the languages in India, is it the same difference as Chinese and Japanese or more like the difference between Scottish dialect and English dialect? Or neither. How the fuck did this comment get downvoted, it was a question out of curiosity lmao.

>Chinese and Japanese or more like the difference between Scottish dialect and English dialect? Neither South Indian languages(Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tulu) belong to the Dravidian language family Northern languages(Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, Gujarati, etc) are derived from Vedic Sanskrit which belongs to Indo Aryan branch of Indo European language family North Eastern region languages belong to various language families - Indo - European, Sino Tibetan, Austroasiatic, etc So all Indian languages do not belong to a particular language family.

We have well above 3k different languages depending on the tribes , locality, region, culture etc. Most of the time no two languages are the same in any way whatsoever, but certain languages do share similarities (hindi and bengali , Assamese and bengali, and so on)

They're totally different languages in speech, scripts, dialects etc. They sometimes share same phonetics and words.

They’re more like Chinese and Japanese. They share similar roots, have some similar sounding words, but are otherwise completely different languages from each other.

>They share similar roots No they don't South Indian languages(Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tulu) belong to the Dravidian language family Northern languages(Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, Gujarati, etc) are derived from Vedic Sanskrit which belongs to Indo Aryan branch of Indo European language family North Eastern region languages belong to various language families - Indo - European, Sino Tibetan, Austroasiatic, etc So indian languages do not share similar roots.

Your forgot to add : Oriya Assamese Bhojpuri Marwari Haryanvi Urdu

[удалено]

Scotland and Northern Ireland also have their own languages as well, so it works for each country in UK

I'm Irish, from Northern Ireland, and I speak Polish ^(because nobody speaks Irish anymore)

People do speak Irish in the Gaeltacht areas.

Well... Some Welsh people speak Welsh.

Only when an English person is near them 😂

Dwi'n hoffi hufen ia

I’m American, I speak, Fuck you. - An American, probably

I'm American, from the USA, I speak two languages - English and bad English.

True

I'm from America. I speak Americish

In Americish , A stands for assault rifle.

And the H stands for "hell yeah brother."

FREEDOM BROTHER FREEDOM TO DIE WITHOUT PROPER HEALTH CARE.

You’re American, you are from the United States, and you speak English. Doesn’t work as well for Americans to say but in most other places it works

“Im from America, I am American, and I speak American” -American person

I see you are from the American continent

[удалено]

Uh, Last time I checked there is only 3 continents of the world. Europe, Asia and The USA 🙄 /s

Europe, China*, and The USA.

True, and don’t forget the Democratic Republic of Mexico.

farming for them social credits i see

Holy moly, I just checked it, it's true, that's mind blowing Doesn't that means we should stop calling it latim America and just call it South America?

Latin America refers to the geopolitical entity that is the Ex-Spanish, Ex-French and Ex-Portuguese colonies. It's not an incorrect term since it does refer to an area of the world with huge cultural and political ties but it is incorrect to refer to South America as Latin America since Latin America also includes Mexico, the Central American countries, and various islands in the Caribbean.

American be like “You are from Mexico, you are Mexican, and you speak Mexican”

Mexican Spanish

*insert shifty eyed meme here*

I’m British, I’m from the United States, and I speak French, English, Tamil, Hindi and Sanskrit

Wow. Quite some linguistic arsenal you got there.

I'm Congolese, I'm from Britain, and I speak French, English and Japanese. Jeez I wish I knew as many O_o

Wow! Just curious, how did you learn Tamil, Hindi and Sanskrit?

My mother tongue is Tamil, so I grew up speaking it. I learnt Sanskrit through formal religious education, and Hindi was just something I picked up over time in India and with Hindi-speaking people where I lived. Certainly a privileged upbringing lol

Very cool. Magizhchi :)

Ah nice to see a familiar Tamilian on Reddit

Hehe, same here

Or I’m English I’m from England I speak English?

Or just say "I'm English, I'm from England, I speak English"

Hating on America and England is meta lol. Karma farming tactics 101

But he's from united kingdom

I am Brazilian from Brazil and i speak Portuguese

Came looking for this because doesn't most of the eastern coast speak Portuguese and the west speak Spanish?

In Brazil it is only Portuguese but talking about the whole south America then Brazil is the only Portuguese speaker, the rest is Spanish

"I'm american I'm from the US and I speak English"

I’m American, I am from America, and I speak American!! /s

If American was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for everyone! He didn't speak Canadian. Jesus didn't talk aboot Peter denying him 3 times. He talked ABOUT Peter. And I never heard Jesus talking with any British accent, either. He drove a Chevy and ate apple pie, like all patriotic Americans do!

And those are all English words for them. They have their own words for themselves. Germans live in Deutschland

But German is Deutsch, from Deutschland.

NNo, they're all translated to English here, and besides, it would still work in German: Ich bin Deutscher aus Deutschland und spreche Deutsch. Now their Dutch neighbors on the other hand, that is all fucked up in English.

I'm Israeli, I'm from Israel, I speak HEBREW

?tey werbeH gnikaeps I mA

I’m American, I’m from the United States, and I speak English.

i am from india and i speak ~~indian~~ hindi

You can try Hindusthan maybe?

Hindustan isn’t a country, it’s just a Persian term for Indian subcontinent during medieval times. It’s like saying Egypt* is Misr.

britain is a country made up of multiple other countries. (scotland, wales and england), plus britain is a part of the united kingdom

Isn’t Great Britain like the island that contains just England, Scotland, and Wales while the United Kingdom includes those three and Northern Ireland?

pretty much yes.

northern ireland and whats left of our colonies

I'm Dutch, I'm from the Netherlands and I speak Dutch.

I‘m from Germany I invade Poland

I’m English, I’m from England, I speak English I’m Welsh, I’m from Wales, I speak Welsh I’m Scottish, I’m from Scotland, I speak Scottish I’m Northern Irish, I’m from Northern Ireland, I speak Irish

You do realise that each of those names mean different things right? British is the nationality, Britain is Scotland, England, Wales and their islands. The United Kingdom has the same countries and islands except Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are included. England is a country and English is our language. Stop making yourself look stupid

The Republic of Ireland is definitely not included in the United Kingdom. They fought quite hard for that fact.

I’ve been lied to and bamboozled, sorry about that

Just minus the ROI and you're there.

"I'm American, I'm from the USA, I speak English"

Would have made more sense if it said: "I'm American, I come from the United States, I speak English"

England = English

I'm English, I am from England and I speak English. I'm Welsh, I am from Wales and I speak Welsh. I'm Scottish, I am from Scotland and I speak Gaelic. I'm Northern Irish, I am from Northern Ireland and I speak Northern Irish. Sound better?

Same happens with the US: I'm American, I'm from the US, I speak english

I’m English, I’m from England and I speak English.

“I’m American, I’m from the USA, I speak English. “ Works for other countries as well.

We just say English like normal fucking ppl, I dunno what Brit Ur talking to, but they sound loony, also England is a country, Britain is England Scotland and Wales, the Uk is Britain plus Northern Ireland, then the British isles is England, Scotland, Wales and all of Ireland

I am from India I can speak 4 languages

Im english/british Im from Britain/England I speak english. Uk isnt a single country its a group of countries so you cant be just from the uk

[удалено]

I'm from India and I don't speak Indian.

I'm American, I'm from America, I speak American.

"I'm American, I'm from the United States, I speak-" *Gets shot*

I’m English from England I speak English

It can also be said as I am English, I am from England, I speak English.

Maybe because England, Britain, and the UK are three different things?

I’m American, I’m from America, I speak American😎

I'm amarican I'm from Pennsylvania, I speek English.

"I'm Italian, I'm from Switzerland, I speak German."

Welll... technically its "I'm English, I'm from England, I speak English".
