Oliver Edwards

Caleb Thompson
depends what you consider a language I have some speakers in my family
but no
Kevin Gomez
No.
I had the choice to learn the fake language that is basque but didn't because it's gay and dumb and basques are insufferable.
William Walker
Yes
Eli Sanchez
Eja
Jeremiah Phillips

Thomas Cruz
I speak Javanese, the language spoken by the largest ethnic group in Indonesia.
Aiden Taylor

Henry Morgan
If cucktalan counts then yes
Gabriel Murphy
I "know" latin and ancient greek
Adrian Hernandez
Scots
Cameron Murphy
>No Elfdalian
Map discarded.
Owen Nelson
how is 95–100 million speaker a rare language??
Daniel James
None of those are rare
Bentley Jackson
I’m actually the editor for the scots wiki
Benjamin Thompson
Dialects aren't languages.
Jack Edwards
yeah sorry, everyone speaks attic greek, my bad.
Colton Young
Elfdalian is extremely rare though
No. Also normal Scanian obviously isn't a language. Perhaps archaic Scanian could have that status but it isn't spoken in all the places shown on the map, only in Skåne and some adjacent areas.
Jace Reed
ja
Robert Walker
Elfdalian being a "dialect" is just a cope from our government who would rather give support to Romani, Yiddish and Arabic speakers than give linguistic rights to the natives. If you know Swedish you can't speak to someone who's talking in Elfdalian. Even if you get it written down on paper it makes zero sense because everything is different. If anything it looks like Icelandic.
Landon Ward
why yes i am fluent in meänkieli and kven
Luke Rogers
Ancient Greek os a pretty normal thing to learn, like Latin.
Carson Torres
yes.
Andrew Turner
Can Finns also understand Karelian?
Or is it too different, like Estonian?
Brandon Green
It has no official backing and it's slowly disappearing due to our agressive monolingual education and governance.
Jason Gutierrez
What's the official language used by the Indonesian government?
Brandon Perry
Indonesian, which is Malay like in Malaysia but rebranded as Indonesian to give a sense of national unity.
It's as if the Indian government force Hindi as the sole official language of the country and call it "Indian" language (although Hindi by itself already sorta means Indian).
Benjamin Jenkins
But isn't Malay less spoken than Javanese? Why did they choose it as the official language?
Luis Kelly
It was more popular as inter-island trade language and had wider range of speakers even as far as Ambon and tip of Papua.
When the Dutch opened schools for the natives they also shilled Malay. The revolutionary leaders continued this trend.
Mason Jenkins
i've found both "karelian" that i understand and that i don't, so im not quite sure.
