What languages do you hear irl?

[The National Salvation Front for Russia]

Yes, in Serbian Latin is used on a par with Cyrillic.

If you don't mind me asking, where in Russia are you from? I'm from the Urals myself, Yekaterinburg based,

[Urran]

Living in Southeast Louisiana you hear a lot actually. Because of our diverse history there are arguably at least a dozen different dialects of English spoken in this area of the state. Cajun French is fairly common in some areas.

We also have a lot of immigrants and migrants so you hear a lot of Spanish while out shopping. After the War a lot of Vietnamese settled in the area around New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina saw many move to Baton Rouge as well. Vietnam has relaxed its rules on allowing its citizens to leave as well so many are now moving in to be with their families, sometimes after decades of separation.

Then there's Cancer Alley, a stretch of the Mississippi River that is home to more than 200 chemical and oil plants. International companies are setting up shop, notably Shintech, a Japanese chemical company. They set up all of their workers in the some apartment complex near the Walmart so any time you go in you usually hear at least one Japanese conversation.

Title is pretty self explanatory. Which other languages besides English (or any native language of yours) do you hear in your day to day lives? For me, living in the Eastside of LA, its Spanish everywhere, and not just concentrated on the Eastside. However, if I go further East then I tend to hear a lot more Mandarin or other asian languages like Vietnamese or Tagalog every now and then. But Spanish and Mandarin are the two big ones.

Spanish, German, Arabic, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

[Astoriya]

Just English, usually

[Major-Tom]

My apartment complex is about 50-60% students from China. I hear Mandarin on a daily basis, though a few of the exchange students I've talked to have also noted that they speak other dialects, Cantonese, Wu, and more.

I generally hear Spanish on a daily basis as well, being in a border state. Navajo is something I hear pretty frequently, owing to the population of Flagstaff, which is near 1/5 Native. For a medium-sized town, it's pretty diverse linguistically. When I'm in Phoenix, Tuscon and Durango, there are a plethora of other speakers I hear as well.

On the bus I hear mostly Arabic, Neapolitan, Latin-American Spanish, occasionally Russian. The local language is basically never heard, because locals and other immigrants seldom yell on buses.

[The New United States]

I study a foreign language at a university known for its foreign language programs and for having a very large multilingual population, so I frequently hear plenty of languages.

The most common languages I hear are probably Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and maybe French or Portuguese. The only languages I really hear outside of campus are English and Spanish.

[Valentine Z]

The Four Languages of Singapore! English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil.

And my mother tongue (Burmese), of course.

There's also Korean, Japanese, German, Russian, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese... quite a lot of languages because of the multilingual and multicultural nature of Singapore, basically.

[Bezkoshtovnya]

English, Mandarin, a good bit of Spanish, and quite a lot of French and every now and then I hear a bit of Kongo, Lingala, or Swahili from the surprisingly large Congolese migrant population.

[Space Captain Brian Surgeon]

I live not that far from Narborough Road in Leicester, which apparently has the widest range of languages spoken in any street in the UK. So other than English there are lots of Asian languages - Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali etc though my ear for languages is pretty poor so I can't distinguish one from another. Also a lot of Polish, some Somali, some Serbian, some Turkish.

EDIT: Forgot that the city is also full of Chinese students, though again I could tell you whether they are speaking Mandarin or one of the other varieties.

That's okay. I've read that some South Asian languages such as Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible, while Bengali is perhaps relatively similar to Hindi (to some extent) so it's quite normal for uninformed 'outsiders' to not understand the difference.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Other than English, on a regular basis: Spanish, Asturian, Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic (both during online classes).

[United Muscovite Nations]

German and Spanish in conversational contexts, Greek and Arabic in religious contexts.

[Necunda]

My Mother Tongue (Filipino and its Variants: Tagalog, Cebuano, Waray-aray, etc) English commonly, Heard some Germanic languages around my area since i live in the capital city Korean is also a rather common-ish langauge here too, same thing with Chinese if you decide to tread the richer parts of the area. Slavic and Japanese is extremely rare yet i've known a couple of people who speak said langauges.

Sometimes Indian when i go to the mall.

[Yusseria]

English and Spanish, unfortunately.

What's unfortunate about it?

The lack of assimilation.

[Heloin]

Through my whole life more then I can remember probably. Nowadays mostly just English, Spanish, and Croat.

Where in the world do you hear a mixture of those three languages regularly?

[A m e n r i a]

As a foreigner living in China, I hear a lot of Mandarin. Sometimes I like to surprise them by reacting back in Chinese when they talk about me. It's always hilarious to see the look on their faces. Since my university has students from all around the country, I hear both northern and southern accents daily.

Florida explains the English and Spanish. Living near an area with a lot of immigrants from the Yugoslav Wars explains the Croats. We all go the the Winn-Dixie and Publix nearby.

I probably should include Albanian as well for the fact that the guys in convenience store near me all seem to be Albanian.

You would be very surprised. I live in a very small town in northeast Missouri and I hear some pretty unexpected languages very regularly.

[Kowani]

English, Spanish, and French commonly. There are a lot of Asians in certain neighborhoods, so also Chinese and Korean. I mean, I can’t understand the latter two, but I know they’re there.

[Solomons Land]

I live in CA, so Spanish is almost as common as English. Additionally, because I am a Jew, I pray in Hebrew. My grandpa loves opera, so I hear Italian through his radio.

Hm, cool.

I've heard a little bit of Lithuanian around where I live.

The lack of assimilation.

That's a good thing. Also, knowing at least 2 languages is good for jobs and the brain.

There's some Russian speakers in my school.
All the Muslim brothers and sister in my school are either Turkish, Russian, or both, so I hear Turksib a lot when I'm around them (I'm the only African-American Muslim in my school, out of ~7 overall lol)

Must be funny when everyone's drinking in parties and you're just sipping cola. I've been in that position too, as there are even less Muslims in my university than yours (2, to be exact).
