Hopefully fluent in English & French, you tell me. Highly conversant in Mandarin, with a light Taiwanese ring to it. Rude, and always misunderstood, in Cantonese.

English Klingon Huttese My Elvish is pretty poor, my Wookiee is barely at a conversational level, but my beeps can be understood by astromechs and protocol droids.
