It can be fun to hear someone speak in one lingo, and the person they
are talking to answer in another. It can be interesting..

We have some 7 native lingos here, not including the ones from outside,
and they are many.
(Aleut/Inupiaq/Yupik/Siberian/Yupik=Eskimo/Aleut),
(Gwichin/Kuyukon=Athabaskan)
Tlinghit/Haida/Tsimshin=unrelated and others that I forget. Some are
dielects of the others. Some are hardly spoken any more but..
Then we have
English (various types, from Southern to British/Scot),Russian,Spanish,
Vietnamese,Korean, Phillipino, Chinese, and Japanese.
Really fun to watch someone speak in Siberian Yupik to someone else, and
then have the two parties turn to a friend and one speaks Russian, and
the other Speaks English.
