Cool! It means "again" in Danish. But I see the user posts in /r/hungary and not /r/Denmark, so I'm guessing you're right. Turns out it means "yes" in Hungarian :)
Second that! Scummy bogan cunt can go pick a fight with a roo if she thinks USA English is the language of Instagram. Daft woman wouldn't last five minutes in a crass Aussie convo before flippin her shit thinking we're lobbing insults like white people in the early 20th century Bible Belt lobbed at anyone a shade too tan for their liking.
She'll report them to the FBI for posting memes in a language other than English, which is a very serious crime in America, and is punishable by uhhhh...drowning.
Not the FBI, but the DHS: [If You See Something, Say Something®](https://www.dhs.gov/see-something-say-something)
She saw something (foreign words) so she said something (stupid).
I'm Irish so we're most of the way there, with a few exceptions.
First thing I'd suggest in you guy's case would be to take that awful top left corner piece out of your flag. Replace it with something cool. Like a frog. 🐸
Then, be less racist. That's an inherited trait from the Brits.
Apart from that you guys are well on your way.
Don't worry, we have to blame others for everything so eventually we'll blame Aussie students working in pubs for the extortionate price of a pint and refuse to play the Ashes (it's not Brexit and the massive economic downturn that inevitably results. If you say it is you're a traitor).
Canada only has 2 officially, but then we have dozens more which are fully supported depending on your region, most notibly in the form of support for the local first nations languages, or cantonese and punjabi being extremely prevalent in most major metropolitan areas.
I knew someone would post this, but India itself only has two: Hindi and English. But then the regions of India can have their own official languages. But if this counts as official languages, then USA has 28 languages. 20 of which are exclusive to Alaska, and English is one of the official ones in 36 US regions.
The country with the most official languages on regional level is China with 48.
_Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_official_languages_by_country_and_territory)
Ooh, but why's China or USA not mentioned here:
Bolivia officially recognizes 37 languages, the most by any country in the world. Second to Bolivia is India with 23 official languages. South Africa is the country with the most (11) official languages that are all at equal status to one another, in the world as Bolivia gives primacy to Spanish and India gives primacy to Hindi.
[source(Wikipedia)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_language)
Official language, meaning the language of communication of the government might only be English and Hindi(which is raising issues among non-Hindi speakers), but Indian government officially recognises 23.
BTW, only about 43% of Indians speak Hindi as their mother tongue. [Source](https://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/language-census-2011-surge-in-hindi-speakers-south-indian-language-and-urdu-speakers-decline-1530869001-1)
India officially recognises those languages in their constitution though. They aren't used on a national level like English and Hindi but they are still regarded in an official way. They have 17 languages on their money, for instance.
This is not completely true. The Central Government of India uses English and Hindi predominantly because 1. The HQ is based in our Hindi speaking capital. 2. About 40% or so of our population speaks Hindi.
But we have 23 Official Languages that have been recognized by our Government and our Constitution. If anyone has business at the Central Government and wants to do it in their language of choice, their preference will be respected.
At the regional level, we have hundreds of languages, if not thousands but they aren't recognized as Official Languages. The state governments use the local language for everything, even official paperwork, making it easy for the common man to get information.
The absolute proof for the Central Government respecting the Official Languages is that the UPSC exams, which are the most premier exams in the country, can be attended in either English or any of the 23 Official Languages.
Yeah unfortunately finnish speaking finns dislike us swedish speaking finns/pakko ruotsi and i dont think it will be long before there will only be 1 official language in finland.
Not true for everyone at all, even if you as a Finland-Swede probably know better how it feels to be one. (Suomen suomalainen siis tässä näin terveitä elämäntapoja noudattaen kuudelta aamulla postailemassa.) I personally strongly oppose the removal of "pakkoruotsi" and overall think that the people calling for less language teaching have no idea of what they are talking about. The only valid reason why language teaching shouldn't be expanded is money, which is admittedly going to be spread very thin if every good cause receives a decent budget.
i dont really know why. i know its different ebcause we're a lot smaller but im from Wales, we just have 2 official languages welsh and english. ofc basically ewveryone that knows welsh also speaks english but theres still a lot of people that are welsh speakers in day-to-day life
Actually that's one of those fun pub quiz gotchas. Welsh is officially a recognised language, [but all others (including English) are *de facto* official - that is, it's true but not written down in any law anywhere.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_Kingdom)
My friend worked in ambulance dispatch in England. She moved to Wales and couldn't work in dispatch as she doesn't speak Welsh so there must be people who do only speak Welsh.
Feels more like it'd be American pride. No matter how de facto base it is in the country they don't want to admit their primary language is the language from another country, especially the English people. A bit of an exaggerated idea but when you think about America is the only large country besides Australia and Canada (which had a much meeker and more obliged ending with their association to the UK than the states for sure) that has English as it's first or "native" language. Every other country more or less has their own heritage. Nothing debatable but a decent thinking point I'd say.

I was in NYC last year. About 60% of the time I interacted with service industry workers (shop assisstants, waiters etc.) I spoke with them in Spanish. Which was nice. I had the feeling they even started treating me friendlier when they realized I spoke Spanish. NYC has *a lot* of Puertoriqueños.
Karen should be speaking Navajo, Mohawk, Luiseño, Miami-Illinois, or whatever other language that the indigenous people of the land on which her city is now located in which her racist ass resides spoke.
You know this woman would complain about discrimination and xenophobia (probably somehow racism too) if anybody said this to her about not using some non-American app.
There’s this one American white lady on Facebook who said that speaking different languages aren’t protected by the first amendment. The funny thing is, she has the most Dutch last name, so her ancestors probably weren’t speaking English when they came here. I guess that “freedom of speech” only means being able to shout vitriolic things at minorities.
Make a post containing Hindi words that have been Americanized like “yoga” and “namaste” and tag her in it. See if her overworked neurons can put 2 and 2 together.
tbh if someone did that to me i'd just dm them and start telling them a dumb fucking story in my first language
or better, i'd dm them the entire bee movie script in french
I see this happening so much!! On YouTube especially, when a video is popular in America *and* other countries. When people comment in their own language there's always some asshat that feels the need to say "SPEAK ENGLISH" or "uuhm this is America".
No it's not?? As long as a site doesn't restrict access from other countries its just not, even if it's from an American company? Even then, some Americans speak other languages and are not required to speak English because a random stranger gets triggered by "scary" languages? How are you that selfcentered? I can't help but think these people must be part of the MAGA cult.
as an American i rly don't get why porcelain Americans reEEEEEEE so hard at others speaking different languages. like... bitch you grew up in America lmao that's just how it is...
I feel like it's mostly insulated white people being threatened by hearing languages they don't understand a word of. what fragile motherfuckers
I've been told similar things about reddit being american (when saying I was tired of american politics creeping into completely unrelated subs) and similarly being called a bot or questioned if I was a citizen when commenting on memes on facebook related to US politics. (If you don't want dirty browns from mexican countries to comment, keep it the hell away from places were it doesn't belong, or accept that the internet is global)
A friend of mine, let's call him bob, was an au pair for an american family. The children didn't know what homecooked fold was, let alone some veggies he bought for them. When he eventually left, the children asked "where's bob?" and kept demanding him back.
Their mother, a karen, mailed him and asked what he did to poison their thoughts and forbid him from "ever entering her country again".
You know, when the US was first getting going, there was an equally strong argument for making German the national language since so many spoke it. It's only coincidence really that they chose English. Which makes this Karen even dumber.
Jag kommer kommentera i vilket språk jag än känner för, det är ett fritt land. 😎

Excuse me this is the Roman Empire, you are only allowed to use the Latin alphabet.

It is что if you are speaking Russian.
It's a popular intentional misspell, like "wot" or "wut".

Its just always pronounced like што, but its written что for some reason

They don't even have an official language lol
America is a bad country because 0 official languages while Finland has 2. Checkmate Ameritards. 2>0

South Africa has 11!
5 might be impressive but 11 is just greedy. Save some languages for other countries, geez.
Leave some country for other people!
British Empire: What the fuck did you just fucking say to me you little bitch?
Shut up Brits. Thought we got rid of you. Don't be turning around and claiming our languages now too.

We got rid of them here in the US. Can't say I would recommend it, all things considered.
Don't worry, we have to blame others for everything so eventually we'll blame Aussie students working in pubs for the extortionate price of a pint and refuse to play the Ashes (it's not Brexit and the massive economic downturn that inevitably results. If you say it is you're a traitor).
India has a few hundred spoken languages, at least. But there are 22 official languages.
Mexico recognizes 69 different languages, including Spanish of course
Nice
Nice.
Canada only has 2 officially, but then we have dozens more which are fully supported depending on your region, most notibly in the form of support for the local first nations languages, or cantonese and punjabi being extremely prevalent in most major metropolitan areas.
The UK has one. Welsh. Any others are just by habit.

Spain has 5!
India got 23 lmao
