We are really the nerdiest word nerds on the internet, but we would be even NERDIER if we knew how to declare our status in several languages. This is somewhat lazy research from Google Translate, so please correct/add to the list if you know the correct term!

I think I like Linguanerd the best! That would be a cool username.

Hah, more like that's the Persian word for "language" and it didn't bother translating "nerd" at
all.

To paraphrase an old James Brown song:"Say it loud, I'm a language nerd and I'm proud!"

When you even consider referring to this thread as "like, totally my crack."

When you enjoy your teachers talking about current events because the only news you get is through your foreign language studies so it helps reinforce your vocabulary by reminding you of all the words you learned.

Yep! I learned about the volcano in Iceland originally from a post in Teango's language log and then reading about it in an article from a Greek newspaper.

When you set up your sister's new DSi and are disappointed that it only has three
languages available - English, French, and Spanish - unlike your own DS lite which has three
more - Italian, German, and Japanese.

When you wish yours had Turkish available - and games in Turkish to go along with it.
