I speak Hindi and a mix of Malayalam at home. To my sister I speak only Hindi. At work it is mostly English with a pinch of Tamil. With my friends Malayalam Tamil English and Hindi.



By the way do you know the languages I mentioned are from India. India has a lot of languages and cultures. National language being Hindi. Other languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Odissi, Marathi, Bihari, Bhojpuri, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Manipuri, Urdu Rajasthani,Sindhi, Kashmiri are spoken in other various territories of India.

So You can say India is a Multilingual country.



Any learned person in this country can speak on an average at least two languages.

I speak in Malayalam(my mother tongue)at home and I make sure my brother also does the same.It is compulsary to talk only in English in my school(to improve our communication skills in English).I opted for Sanskrit as a second language over Malayalam and I repent for it.So,I get to speak in Malayalam only at home.I love my language and I am studying Malayalam more thoroughly at home since I can't study it at school.I adviced my Brother to take Malayalam as 2nd language coz I didn't want my brother to repeat my mistake.BTW I sometimes talk to my friends in Hindi.I have a tamilian friend but I never speak in Tamil as my Tamil is too rusty.(Malayalam ia a south Indian language spoken in the state of Kerala)

Respect your culture ,your language and the world will respect you

I speak English with all the members of my own family.

I speak French with my in-laws (but they rarely come to my home).

My husband speaks French with our children.

My children speak either English or French with each other at home, depending on who else is around, what they're doing, and which of them started the conversation.

I'm from the Philippines but Im Chinese by blood. So Most of the time, at home, when I speak with my parents, we speak with a mixture of Tagalog and Chinese (and a bit of English). But with my brothers, it's usually English / Tagalog.

We all speak Spanish, because we're all from Argentina (and 'in' Argentina), and Spanish is the language we speak in my country.
