Portuguese. Actually, English is my second language. I'm here to practice English a little more.

Yes, I speak Afrikaans, one of the 11 officials languages of South Africa, a smattering of German (enough to understand) and basic Xhosa, an indigenous SA language.

Active languages:
-Indonesian (mother tongue, preferred for reading, listening, and speaking)
-English (2nd language, 99% fluent, preferred for writing)
-Dutch (3rd language, 80% fluent in speaking and listening, rarely used for reading and writing)
Passive languages:
-Malay (all Indonesian speakers understand Malay... actually if I find a website on the internet, it usually takes me awhile to tell whether it's Malay or Indonesian. they are arguably variants of the same language that separated for politacal reasons, but an Indonesian wouldn't like it if you say that they speak Malay)
-Javanese (understand 80% listening of common Javanese, 0% of fine Javanese, barely speak it, can't read or write it--written either in Pahlavi or Roman script)
-French (basic contextual understanding, don't really speak it)
-German (basic contextual understanding, don't really speak it)

English by nature and, rather badly and forgive the phonetic spelling, 'kyonki mein gora han, menum panjabi which naheen aho ! ' .. et aussi, 'je suis anglais et je parle une peu francais'. The former enough to break the ice and surprise my asian friends and the second enogh to survive in France.

I know enough Italian to order at an Italian restaurant and not look like a tourist
