''' About Babel ... ''' My Y&uuml;eh and Pu Tong Hua are not comparable to the IndoEuropean langs with similar numbers. However if I persist in this form this will change as  &#x4ec1; &#x6587;  develops.


 * It really irks me that I will not have the resources to attempt any more than a few words of languages such as Arabic and Portugues. Further the other constituents of &#x4ec1; &#x6587; are not co-equals either. I do not believe it practical that I can even come close to English fluency in any thing other than Modern Standard Chinese nor exceed in any other language outside Engels whatever is the highest [[Image:RenWen2.png|thumb|240px|left|top|&#x4ec1; &#x6587; projected c. 4728 公元]] level of my second  language besides English from the constituents of Engels (as noted in our web). This would be either of  Hochdeutsch or Nederlands. Latin (Spanish and French) is thus effectively limited to 1 or 2 level and any unselected wiki languages will remain zero.


 * Adjusted Qin boxxen per above. The current ability to set BabelBoxxen varies per lingo. The numbers are fuzzy anywho as indicated above with a hedge of +/- 1. In particular most wikipedi&aelig; don't currently have a level zero. Lycurgus 20:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Contretemps @ Anglosphere
See thread title for example of POV warring, in particular the map on the talk page which some parties there don't want displayed, presumably because it shows the fact the no language has greater currency than English. You'd think they'd let it stay since it does show that even English has a relatively small footprint of first speakers. Lycurgus (talk) 20:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Progress with 11 y to go
I continue to struggle with Chinese, still really no natural lang other than first reached immersion, conversationality. Chinese, German and Spanish fluency are still attainable goals and not so far off, could probably bluff Spanish and German right now and not a complete stranger to the Hanzi. Feeling a very strong attraction to Portuguese so will likely yield to it. French, Cantonese, etc. are unlikely to get very far, though it's just a matter of no more than casual application in the case of langs which are close to intelligible with the extant Latin, Germanic and Qin commitments.
