Is the last one even a human language? Or is it a code of some kind?

I can read the German, though not very well.

Generic sentence structures should suffice to a question as this. -
But I suppose a bit of variety has never caused harm to another. -
Considering my lack of interest to any of these escapades, I would normally not participate in such a thing. -
However, I believe my interest has been garnered, at least on this occasion. -

I only speak Japanese, but strangely, I can read some of the things written here that are supposedly in other languages...

[blurred-divide.livejournal.com]

English: I do not see why I should e’er turn back,
Italian: Or those should not set forth upon my track
Romanian: To overtake me, who should miss me here
Korean: And long to know if still I held them dear.
Greek: They would not find me changed from him they knew—
Tibetan: Only more sure of all I thought was true.

That's a fascinating combination. I wouldn't have thought Frost would look so fascinating in the several languages I can't read.

I assume you're from Earth, then. What year was it when you left?

And other dead or obscure odds and ends. I was in the middle of learning Croatian before I came here, so I didn't put it down.

But I bet it all reads the same, doesn't it?

That's a large range of languages. Which is your native?

It seems like you're from Earth. I can read several of them, but English is my native tongue.

I recognize the hieroglyphs. Middle Egyptian, right? Did you learn that for academic purposes, or have you used it as a vernacular?

I'm trying to determine how a person's native language influences their perception of other languages. I think I've got it now, though. I only understand the first of yours.

If you don't mind my asking, what's your place of origin?

What are the fifth and sixth languages, if you don't mind my asking?

[wantsyourzex.livejournal.com]

There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. VUX, more specifically VUK ZIX, a particular variant mostly found in the LYK region, associated strongly with LYK XEN and the immediate area around that city. Common among our military, since LYK XEN is where our primary military academies are located.
There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. VUK KIZ
There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. FYK PUZ
There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. FYK ZAZ
There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. ZUJ KEK (This dialect is not my particular specialty, but I could pass in the YUX region.)
There is nothing wrong with being different, or appreciating difference. PIX FAK (My weakest; aquatic dialects are difficult for me)

This answers some questions of mine, at least.

Fascinating. I'm curious: are you able to read more than one language in any of the other responses to this note?

What's the point of this? We all speak different languages, yay!

That was in English, by the way, in case you can't read. But if you're looking for some kind of translator, I know plenty others.
