HAHAHAHHA LMAOOOOO funniest question ever!! well its not Awsianese like someone said. Asia is the earths biggest and most diverse continent. The languages there are wayyy to many to name at the moment. Your answer is ""If your from Asia your first language would be whatever was spoken in your native region."" there ya go!!

I speak English and what Japanese I do know I learned in high school. My last name is the English family name. My mother is philipino and she speaks tagalog. Second-generation asian americans sometimes speak their parents' native language. However there are many asian languages though the most speak Putonghua, or Standard Mandarin, aka Chinese. It also happens to be the most popular native language in the world. English is the most popular second language. There are more people learning English in china than there are native english speakers in the U.S.
btw Taiwan says they're the REAL China. Cuz they got run off the continent when the revolution came around. Get it? revolution...around...bad joke...

If you're a European what language would you speak?
English? Italian? German? Russian? French? Turkish?
There are around 3,000 languages spoken in Asia, so it doesn't work that way. You'll have to ask that student what's his/her native language. No other way will help.
Let's say the student is from India...more than a thousand languages are spoken there and there is no Indian language. Or if the student is from China...90% chances that he/she speaks Chinese, but China has a large variety of minority nations and they have their own languages. I'm sure that student knows enough English to tell you where he/she is from and what's his/her language.

It depends on the country. I'm from Iraq and I speak Arabic.
It's a verry cool language, I say to you (Ahibik), and that means (I Love U).

It all depends on what part of Asia you are from. There's Madarin, cantonese, japanese, thai, korean, the 1600 dialects in India...to name a few
