Gelan, If that's not the real language, that was a funny joke. If it is the real language, you are one talented guy! Salute

Cary, I am actually from Indonesia, migrated to Oz back in the beginning of the 80's.

Not talented, but I think it is a necessity Razz

As the matter of fact, I do speak a few languages but Indonesian and English are the two that I am really comfortable with in speaking writing and reading.

Thank you = Terima kasih

gelan,

Down here almost every native Texan speaks Texas English (American English with a different sound) and Tex Mex, to some degree. Tex Mex is a bastardized version of Spanish. Its different from Mexico Spanish, but with the same root verbiage. For example, in Mexico, the word for eggs, means testicles up here.

I don't know why...I learned a lot of Japanese while I was in Japan...Came in handy while I was there. At least I wasn't a fresh air snipe or an airdale...Never liked bird farms...

I can speak 3 languages (English, French & Greek) and can read and write English properly, I can read French just fine but I cannot spell it right. And with a couple of days of practice I can read most Greek but I will forget it again in a month (don't need to read much Greek).

I know how to say thank you in Chinese and that's about the only thing I can say in any language that I wasn't raised with.
