How many languages do you speak?

Most people think Malaysian speak at least 2 languages, and most even speak up to 5 languages.

I do speak English, Malay, Mandarin, Canonese (rather standard for most Malaysian).

So how many languages do you speak?

Here are the languages that i speak:

- English (to almost any1 i know, even government officers!)

- Malay (rarely, can't speak it that fluently nowadays as compared with school days)

- Mandarin (particularly to relatives on my Mum's side)

- Cantonese (important business language)

- Hokkien (my mother-tongue, unfortunately not too fluent in it also)
