I live in the heart of Chongqing, China, the fastest growing city in China as some call
it. If it's the fastest growing city in China, it got to be somewhere among the fastest growing in world, if not the fastest. Mandarin Chinese is the official language here, as it is in the rest of Mainland China, but quick-tempo Chongqinghua, their variety of Sichuanese Mandarin, is the vernacular. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Oh, hell. I feel like I knew that. I was in Visby a week ago! I could've dropped by to chat about languages and Wing Chun! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Dublin (which comes from the Irish Dubh Linn - Black pool).
However, the city in Irish is actually called Baile Átha Cliath (Town of the ford of hurdles). I'm sure there's a really good explanation for the difference, but I don't know it. Edited by DaraghM on 07 September 2012 at 10:24am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've practiced my Spanish once and I've also overheard a couple of Romanian, but mine wasn't good enough to talk yet. Very multilingual indeed, one day spent in Montreal is pretty much like travelling aroung the globe. And it's even more multilingual than it was in 1966. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm currently living in Ørland kommune in Norway, but I'm moving to England in
less than two weeks! :D ("... in two weeks" means "two weeks from now, ...", right?) Edited by stifa on 07 September 2012 at 1:51pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
