As a Indian I can naturally speak 5 languages (English, Hindi, Punjabi, Maithili & Awadhi) & before YT, I didn’t know this is a talent LOL. Actually one has to speak multiple languages in India in order to communicate atleast with most Indians if not all still 😅

[@sudhanvasamaga2360]

5 bro? he speaks like 30 to 40 that is a talent not 5.

[@akshhat]

it's important to note that it's a wildly different thing to speak different unrelated languages than it is to speak multiple related ones. not taking away from your talent, but maithili and awadhi are quite similar because they have their origins in bihar itself, and both of them are very closely related to hindi. same with hindi and punjabi. side note: I'm maithil too! hum kani mani bajaye chhi maithili, ottay fluent naahi chhi hum par koshish kareye chhi bajaye kay 😅

[@addynagar827]

maithili and awadhi are dialets right

[@akshhat]

[@KiriAatam]

As a Tamil speaker, I find Kannada to be more difficult than Telugu or Malayalam or Hindi

[@shasyendra]

@@KiriAatam ohh...I was told that Telugu and Kannada are very different from Tamil & Malayalam

[@KiriAatam]

@@shasyendra Different, yes. I felt Telugu is much closer to Tamil. Tamils interact with a lot of Telugus during college or at work as Telugus are a significant minority in Tamil Nadu. Telugu movies are widely popular too even a decade or 2 back. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have river sharing disputes and both have banned movies of each other state which was revoked only in the recent years.

[@aravindhrajgowda2446]

​@@KiriAatam For tamil speakers, Kannada is the easiest language. Even it is easier than malayalam. The gender rules in Tamil and Kannada is similar to each other.

[@KiriAatam]

@@aravindhrajgowda2446 Could be. During my UG in a university in Tamil Nadu, almost half of the batch was from AP. Many of our friends were Telugus and we learnt each other’s language slowly. I did not have any opportunity to talk to a Kannadiga during my stay in India. When I went abroad, I made friends with Kannadigas, they were such a treat. But, we interacted in English throughout. They spoke English with such a clear diction, I found it hard to not get envious of them.

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

Honestly, these types of videos are so wròng, giving $ to x or y for speaking languages, pfff, one should work hard to get a småll amount of money for food and rent, and not get it for free basically - anyways, one can imagine that ppl that say they speak many languages aren’t fluent / native speaker level in all languages they say they speak, so it’s probably A1 / A2 level in most and B1 level in some and fluent only in 2 or 3 languages, so I would say Dutch / English / German are spoken more fluently, and the others at A1 to B1 level, because learning a language means one has to learn at least 10.000 base words if one wants to get to a native speaker level, which can be extremely overwhelming if one wants to learns many languages...

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

Like, I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to know and improve, and I can understand many of the similar ones, and I am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and writer level in English (60k to 100.000 words or maybe more) and intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese and close to an intermediate level in French and native speaker level in Spanish (over 11.000 base words to 15.000+ words) and beginner level in Welsh / Old Norse / Breton / Icelandic / Gothic / Norn / Hungarian / Cornish / Galician / Catalan / Gallo / Danish / Irish / Slovene / Luxembourgish / Faroese / Limburgish / Manx / Occitan / Latin / Scottish Gaelic / Limburgish / Guernsey / Ripuarian / Italian and the other Dutch-based / Italian-based / German-based / French-based etc languages and the 3 Frisian languages (West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian) and Scots Doric and Yola and the other pretty languages that are on my list!

[@sapito_]

little tip for spanish: when you want to talk about something remember to add the prepositions and pronouns, for example, "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de Incas", instead try to say "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de LOS Incas". Since you are not talking about a specific person, but a group, so you add "LOS". for the other one "La cultura de Machu Pichu", instead try "La cultura DEL Machu Pichu" Not talking about an animal so it sounds weird if you say "de", instead try to say 'DEL', more appropiated for a non-live being thing. hope it helped at least a bit !

The most common are Marathi, Gujarati, and Hindi, followed by Punjabi, Marwari, Urdu, Kutchi, Sindhi, Kannada, Tulu, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Konkani...the list is pretty long 😂Add English to the mix and u get educated urban Indians working white-collar jobs speaking 4 at a minimum right there
