If I could talk in only one language for the rest of my life, it'd be Tamil.
One thing I can say about the French language is that no one in the world loves their language as much as they do. It doesn't matter if you're close - it still sounds terrible to their ears.
I'm trying hard to keep my Australian accent. My mom would disown me if I didn't.
I belong to the Russian language. As to the state, from my point of view, the measure of a writer's patriotism is not oaths from a high platform, but how he writes in the language of the people among whom he lives.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
I note that the Python folks still think they like JPython. I wonder how long that will last?
I haven't shifted language. I'm writing in English because I like it. I'm a sucker for the language, but the good old poems I'm still writing in Russian.
My advice to all who have the time or inclination to concern themselves with the international language movement would be: 'Back Esperanto loyally.'
I must stick with Chinese language films.
I have never wanted to leave Malayalam films.
Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.
I will never stop working on Spanish-language projects because that's my language, and because I'm a Latina and Mexican before anything else.
I still speak to my parents only in German, and I have endless family over there.
I still keep my accent.
A writer is defined by the language in which he writes, and I would stick to that definition.
I think Americans are really patriotic people, so patriotism is something they can understand. I'm very patriotic about Brazil, my country, and that includes my language.
My language! heavens!I am the best of them that speak this speech. Were I but where 'tis spoken.
