<p>Just out of curiosity, do colleges find it an asset to speak a language that is not very common?</p>
<p>I'm Indian, but I don't speak Hindi. At home (with my family) I speak an Indian language that isn't common and most people have not heard of it.</p>
<p>it doesn't matter</p>
<p>Anisha, do you speak Bengali?</p>
<p>Is this another desi thread! LoL :)</p>
<p>Hmm...you speak a rare Indian dialect, eh? Some schools might like that.</p>
<p>I don't think it's that special to speak a language you grew up speaking. Or rather, what I'm trying to say, is that it's a far greater accomplishment to have learned a foreign language through study.</p>
<p>anisha08, is it major (Kannada, Oriya, Telugu, Bengali, Tamil, Gujarati, Malayalam) or smaller than these?</p>
<p>Guju Guy Right Here :)</p>
<p>Khem che? Hu pan gujurati chu. Lol...
I know four languages so far, and I;m hoping to learn one more:
1)Gujurati
2)English
3)Hindi
4)Spanish</p>
<p>It's smaller than these, starts with a K, and I bet you've never heard of it.</p>
<p>It adds to the diversity and culture of the college you go to - and thus, is a positive.</p>
<p>Ya..it isn't about knowing the language so much as it is on how it effects you.</p>
<p>Well, I'm one of about three people in my whole school who speaks it. I and the rest of my fellow _________ (guessss) speakers are members of an organization, and I'm really trying to get more involved in it. I publish articles for the newsletter.</p>
<p>Konkani? Kashmiri? I don't know...</p>
<p>yall know a lot of languages, I'll give you that, but they're all like dialects, not necessarily languages that vary that much</p>
<p>senator noodles, you got the first one.</p>
<p>Chineseee (fluently) =D Mandarin/Shanghainese/Cantonese
French = can muddle through it/ converse like a FoB</p>
<p>You know what this means guys... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ lol.</p>

<p>It does not matter since it is technically your first language.....It probably would be an asset if you learned some uncommon foreign language and made some practical use of it... </p>
<p>My languages:</p>
<p>A) English
B) Sindhi
C) Hindi
D) Gujurati ( I can understand but dont speak very well )
E) Arabic ( can read and write but dont speak very well )</p>
