Quote from Los Angeles local newspaper

From Downtown News:

“According to linguistic researchers, there are at least 224 languages spoken by L.A. County residents. Within a generation, it is predicted that more than one third of all languages spoken on earth will be spoken in homes here. L.A. Has the most diverse population ever assembled in one place in human history.”

That’s why this is such a cool city, and anyone that says we don’t have any culture, hasn’t looked at all!!! This wonderful city has a feel all it’s own, definately a “culture”

:smiley: INgie :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

That’s pretty cool! Amazing how many languages we have here on earth. But I don’t think I’d ever live in LA, WAY too hot.

Pooba

He, he, he…

Well, you should be here to see what’s happening…

We have only one language, and still we can’t understand each other… :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve been to Greece a time or two. The last time I went a young lady started talking to me, but I couldn’t understand a word she said. It was all Greek to me.

DISCLAIMER: I have never been outside of the USA. I just couldn’t resist that “joke.”

That’s exactly why we can’t understand each other…

It’s all Greek to us…:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Spyros.

well considering papua nue guinie has a total of 800 languages i don’t belive the info is that acturate. (that number may include dialects though so i dunno)

Alltaken

i hear its the smog that makes people go crazy and speak in tongues =)

So many prostitutes in LA, can’t they just legalize prostitution for god sake ? You think they will have a clue by now.

I also hate it when government base American cultures and morals on Sudo Christenality.

Hate to break it to you, but L.A. is only number 2 on rthe multit cultural list. In a recent survay by Amnesty International, in conjunction with the American government, Torotno Has the greatest ratio of different cultures. Over 82% of Torontonians are not native canadian’s or caucasian. 50% are Oriental in background, 20% are South American 7% are African 5% are European (italian, Greek. French)

Vancouver is also quite multicultural, but more i tnhe sense that over half thier population is Japanese. This is becaujse of immigration from ww2

and don’t forget, Canada has montreal, the only OFFICIAL multilingual City in North America. I mean, even here, in Toronto, we need to put French lables on everything.

Just FYI

Um, Ingiebee the only canadians that are native are the Askimos and native Amercians and why is Canada consider North America ?

By the way, you got a photo of yourself ?

ROTFL

Nayman: woohoo! Go Montreal!

Al_Capone: and eskimos and native americans came from over the sea by the Bering detroit (if that exists in english). What’s the limit in time when you’re actually considered native from some place or another…

Martin

Good point theeth, I would consider a native that is discover by exployers.

nayman how hard is it to get to live in canada.

me and my wife to be want to move there. Its such a beatiful place although i hated montreal (must have been on the wrong side of town).
quebec was incredible i’ve never seen such a vivid example of old meats new.

it’ll be hard to move from cardiff tho i love this place too.

don’t you mean old meets new ?

Just where in hell did you suddenly find a dictionary? :o

%<

What dictionary in the world you refering to ?

typical, first you snatch some people from their homeland, make them your slave, and then boast that you have such a diverse culture! :smiley:

Roel

LOL Thats so funny, Al Capone correcting someones spelling. Ha Ha Ha
Paradox

I didn’t took no land from natives, if anything I want to give it back to them.
