Pour moi, c'est parce que je ne parle que français et allemand (mais pas beaucoup pour ce dernier) et je me sens que ces deux langues sont parlées beaucoup dans ce forum.
For me it's because I only speak French and German (not a lot for the latter) and I feel that those 2 languages are spoken a lot in this forum.

Mais bien sûr. Je ne parle que des langues les plus rare et à la mode. Comment est-ce que je peux parler quand je bois mes vins indé et vapote la Marie-Jeanne? :wat:
But of course. I only speak the rarest and most fashionable languages. How else could I talk when I drink my indie wines and vape the Mary Jane?

それは何語ですか。
What language is that?

乍看起来很像意大利语,但仔细看以后就发现绝对不是意大利语。
At first glance, it looked like Italian, but upon closer inspection, I realized it definitely is not Italian.
