@OctoPinky said in #50:

Is there something like Algerian Arabic, or it is the same as standard Arabic? I think Tunisians have also a local language different from Arabic.
There's a differencce between like street Algerian Arabic and pure Arabic. Here, we speak Darija (literally "slang"), which is somewhat the local slang of Arabic lol. I think the Tunisian Darija is different, though I never went to Tunisia.

For example, a snail in pure Arabic is حلزون (Halazoun), but in Darija most people call it ببوش (Bebbouch). In Darija, it's normal for a word to start with a سكون (for example "snail" starts with سكون, because the "s" doesn't have a vowel), but in Arabic there's no word that starts with a سكون.

Depends on how you describe knowing a language. I can read write speak and understand English, Punjabi, and French. I can speak and understand Hindi and Urdu. I can understand Gujrathi, Marathi, Bhojpuri, bits of Arabic, and bits of Persian.

If you include programming languages then theirs around a dozen more but I don't think anyone uses them for verbal communication.

So, depending on your definition of knowing, I know either 3, 5, 8. 11, or 23 languages.

If just being able to understand a language counts as knowing it, then I would know 5, maybe 6 languages instead of 3.

No programming languages would still be 5-6. (Chinese dialect one, Chinese dialect two, a bit of Italian)

So add that to the original three and you’ll have more languages - but because I am not fluent in the above I do not consider them “knowing” a language :)
