...In the sense of the way their verbs are conjugated. I'm loving how the same endings are used for each person in Swedish e.g jag talar, du talar, vi talar etc. And curiosity has again gotten the best of me and I'm wondering what other languages (if any) have just one ending for each person... It's such a nice change from having to learn several for each verb, altho I feel I should stress that I'm not going to dismiss any language purely because they do have different endings.

How about... I speak, you speak, we speak, they speak?

Esperanto. I don't think Chinese verbs are conjugated either.

Afrikaans behaves similarly.

There's always Afrikaans as well.

Thank you :o) definitely languages to look into at some point :o)

ummm.... I was thinking of languages where most if not all verbs have just one conjugation, plus I already speak English so I have no real desire to learn it "properly".
