    I was born and raised in Florida. We are a rare breed (a lot of people are transplants here, mostly Northerners).

    In my particular area, the native language is Ghetto Redneck. I, myself, prefer proper English. But there are many different places where the primary language used is Spanish. Take Miami, for instance. :laugh:

    I was born & raised in Kitchener, ON, Canada and my area English is the predominate language but Im pretty sure every other language is spoken here - its a very multicultural area and I personally speak 3 languages - English, Bad English and Sarcasm and thanks to Seseme Street I can count in French and Spanish as well!

    Born and raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands!

    Edit: dus naast Engels spreek ik ook Nederlands! ^^

    I was raised here in Canada but I'm half Friese! I cant speak Dutch or Freise but I can understand enough to follow conversations if you speak slow enough for my mind to translate...lol!
