I can speak Punjabi (native language) but I'm a bit shy in speaking.

What a cool question! I'm amazed by the diverse range of languages people are answering with. There are so many languages on here and it's so cool how multitalented some people are!

My only language is English, but I've been taking Latin classes for several years in school. While I'm far from fluent, I generally can read, write and sometimes speak in Latin (although the pronunciations can be tricky). Latin is technically a "dead language" -- meaning that it isn't spoken anymore -- but what's interesting is that hundreds of modern languages are rooted in Latin. So, from what I've learned in Latin, I can get rough, basic translations of French, Spanish, Italian, Portugese and other languages since they're so similar.

I find the language fascinating because of its complexity. It has different declensions and conjugations; and very specific processes for declining and conjugating words. It also has "cases", which are fascinating: for instance, a word would be in the ablative case if it's the object of a preposition, the nominative case if it is the subject of the sentence, and the genitive case if it's used to show posession.

I've learned a lot about grammar from Latin, and it's helped improve my writing and vocabulary a lot! I also started learning American Sign Language once, so I know a few (very minimal) signs.

Valete, omnes! (Take care, everyone!) cheeky

Fun fact! How to say "I speak (insert language)" in Latin: "Ego possum dicere (insert language)-em".
