So, I've been curious on who knows the most languages and is good at them. I am definitely not on this list, but I am curious.

I will mention that this includes every kind of language. So, English, French, German, etc. Along with scripting languages such as pascal, java, JavaScript,etc.


So,let me know who knows the most. :D

I will go first. I know English, French, pascal and C#.

Now… Blow me away with your knowledge!

english and well .. i speak some french, i do it on the side of my degree, but i would very much like to be fluent so i can spend some time in france once i graduate :)

how good is your french?

programming - java (although not that much unfortunately), C, objective-C (really enjoying iOS at the moment), pascalScript (thats what simba scripts are right?) and then bits of assembly, UNIX shell, html :)

Mips ASM, x86 ASM (Fasm, Nasm, Masm), C, C#, C++, Obj-C (The worse language in the world), Cobol, Java, Javascript, VB, Html(5), PHP, Perl, MySQL, TSQL, PLSQL/Oracle SQL, Pascal, Delphi, Haskel, Fortran, F#, Unix-Shell/Bash/Batch, Make, GLSL(OpenGL Shading language), (All.Net/Visual versions of the above)..

Some french/spanish (not too great at it at all.. Only enough to get things done)

Meh.. I was going to learn Google Go but its useless. Nothing special about it I guess.

Obj-C (The worse language in the world)

wow now …


you really hate it that much?

Know or are familiar with?

I only claim to "know" English :) but I'm familiar with:
Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, (American) Sign Language, Manual English (it's a separate sign language);
Pascalscript, Java, C#, C, C++, ARM, MIPS, x86 ASM, VB6, HTML, Bash, Verilog, VHDL, TCL, iRules, and probably some others I'm forgetting.

Edit: Make is an extra programming language.

Familiar with will work… :p

WOW….. How did you learn all of these or at least become familiar with these?

I can fluently speak Finnish (my native language) and English, but I can also speak small amounts of Swedish, German and French.

For programming: Pascal and VB

Make, as in a Make file? The type of file used for compiling/cleaning/etc languages like C outside of an IDE? If that's true I should add it to my list :p

Yes, yes and yes. I do hate Obj-C that badly. Its just the syntax is so different from other languages and it took me longer than most other languages to learn for the little use that I found in it.

I learned the languages mentioned from various programming/engineering jobs. Those are/were the requirements (I hated having to learn the legacy languages and API's). I teach/tutor programming as well..

And no its not that I'm familiar with it. I actually know them pretty well. x86-ASM/C/Cpp is my strongest though. It doesn't take long to learn a language once you know a couple already; learning another becomes easy.

I'm jealous… :p

But that is pretty amazing that you know all of that.

Finnish, English, Java, Simba :D, (Swedish), (HTML), (PHP), (JavaScript)

Dutch
English
A bit of Latin, Greek, French, German

Pascal
Java
A bit of C#, .NET, C++, Perl

Arabic, Hebrew, English: fluent in all three.
French: Mainly Read & Write, I know all the grammar by heart.
German: Studied one year, now completely forgot the language.
Ancient language: Middle Egyptian - advanced, studied this deeply, easiest language to learn as long as you have a Faulkner. Latin: pretty much forgot everything.

Computers: Only thing i remember is Pascal, forgot C#/HTML, interested in learning java script and maybe even java.

English is my 1st language so I can't really take credit for that.
I learned french for 6 years in school, forgot almost all of it once I started taking German instead
I've been learning German for 3 years, I can speak almost useful sentences in the present tense.

I'll say pascal because I know the syntax ect, but tbh I can't use it for anything other than scripting for Simba.

English is my first language, Japanese is my second.
And of course, I'm slowly learning pascal :)

English and Spanish.

Pascal in development.
