I thought English (Canada) was actually French?

English, USA

bill & vos - LOL

drdt - People in the western Canadian provinces speak English, not French.

Ohmigawd, it was like Val English or something. Okay! Fersure!

There are a few areas where French is spoken though

I speak english as a first language, but I also speak spanish as a first language. Well, I'm bilengual, actually.

Matt - You mean even in B. C. and Alberta?

drdt - people in the eastern Canadian provinces mostly speak English as well. It's only in that slightly-eastern province of Quebec where French is commonly spoken. There's a Canadian accent for English, but I wouldn't call it a separate dialect. Quebecois (the Canadian dialect of French) is really distinct from Parisian French, it's got a lilting cadence and most phrases end on an up-note so it sounds very singsong-y.

In Alberta yeah, when I went to Jasper, a lot of the people there spoke French and there was even a radio station that would talk about French events happening around Alberta.

English (USA)

English (USA)

English(USA) and French(CH) as I'm a dual citizen kid.

Nicoletta: I've always wondered how Switzerland got the CH abbreviation. Do you know?

vos: Maybe it's a reference to Swiss CHeese?

ILJ: Of course, that must be it!!

I think CH stands for Confederation Helvetica. What Helvetica means I haven't a clue--I assume "Swiss."

Gee, I thought it was a font.

The Helveti were a Celtic tribe that lived in what is now Switzerland at the time of Julius Caeser.

SueBee -- a font catalog I've seen long ago (Linotype, maybe, altho it could have been Adobe) said the typeface we know as Helvetica got that name due to the Swiss sense of aestetics and the Bauhaus movement around 1930 (yeah, I know it's vague, but I don't expect much of a catalog that was trying to sell fonts).

MEXICO I speak Spanish as a 1st. language, English as a second, French as a third, Italian as a fourth, and I'm studying German now.

Finnish

Finnish? I haven't even started yet! (oh god I'm sorry for that)

! German doesn't even qualify for this survey! You were expecting more people to speak Algonquin than German! Germans can't get no respect :(

English - New Zealand, I'm a kiwi born and bred :)

Spanish!

Canadian English which is across between American and British

4 Dutch. Who are the others??
