Right. I'll add it (it's a nationally spoken language) and I know someone (named Dafydd, no doubt) who speaks it.
Oh, and for the translation, i'm pretty sure "Rydw i'n hoffi cymraeg" Would be fairly accurate. 👍

Right.
I speak French, German, Spanish, and English. Those were the ones that I got first. After that, I checked and double checked, and found translations and transliterations for all except Russian (I transliterated for myself, personal interest in Russian) and Hebrew. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce the Hebrew in the OP? It would make my list complete.

I wonder why there wasn`t a Dutch entry yet. 
*cough* *cough*, OMG, my throat hurts.
*cough* *cough*, OMG, my throat hurts.If I`m right it`s spoken by around 30-35 millions in the south-west coast region of India. It`s related to the Tamil language. Just took some information from the internet. To be confirmed...Hi gorsad.

Hi gorsad.
Sure, Malayalam is mostly spoken in the south of India, but more so in the state of Kerala. Around 33 million people live in Kerala so I'd say a number close to that speaks it.
It is based off Sanskrit and people who speak it are nicknamed Malus.
EDIT : Tree'd

But, you said German.
Right?Thanks.
Thanks.
I was curious if there'd be an easy way to find translations for it, and wanted to learn a bit about it.

Not sure I understand... Do you mean "Germanic?" Otherwise, I'm not picking up your humour.

I'll put you down for Japanese, then. 
I know what you mean: I don't like hearing European guys... Or, well, guys at all, but, I'm a sucker for European women.

I like English... being a spanish and english speaker, I notice frequently that sometimes english feels "incomplete" due to the fact that some words in other languages don't exist in it, but the same can be said the other way around.
I guess no language will ever be truly complete.

Ironically, I find that English lacks at least twice as many words as any other language. The closest to "truly complete," in terms of vocabulary, is certainly German, another reason why I chose German. Anyways, Spanish is second place, of the languages I speak, followed by English and French. However, because of how quickly French can be spoken, and how nice it sounds, I still prefer speaking French over English.

It's not a bias. It's what you've grown up around. I grew up with, and grew out of, English. Now, I'm forced to speak it, by the people in Canada, who can't understand French (even though it's an official language in Canada...) and even GTP's AUP-not that I'm complaining, having seen hundreds of nationalities.
It's definitely more of a preference, based on logical reasoning. It's not as trivial as a bias; if it's patriotism, simplicity, or comfort that you enjoy about English, that's a reasonable idea. Certainly, no one can tell you otherwise, if you have a reason, and don't dislike any other languages. Look, I can give advice in bold/italics!
Once I met a German girl, who spoke German with me, I knew that I prefer German. Then, I met a Spanish family (the nicest, most generous people I've ever met) from El Salvador, and noticed that I like Spanish. Then, I met a short, little French girl (too young for "interest," but she was like a sister... and QUITE funny.) and noticed that I like French, too.
So, I have nothing against anyone, and I'm not biased. I just have preferences. That's what this thread's asking for.

OP updated. Da, I like Russian too. I just don't have a keyboard capable of typing it... and I'm still learning the codes for Russian letters. "" Dah, if only it were as easy as Serbian/Croatian/Czech.

German is a language that was designed for public speaking.
Japanese was designed for shouting at people before cutting their heads off.
Italian was designed for complaining and demonstrating how to cook.
Spanish was designed to confuse the people in the new world.
French was designed to confuse everyone else.
English is my favorite though. Too bad nobody speaks it well.

I see no problem with your grammatical clauses. Therefore, I added "else."
So, my favourite language was made for public speaking? Right, not bad. I'll have to tell that to Sebastian.
Spanish was designed to confuse the new world?
It's not that hard.French was designed to confuse everyone else?
Okay, that's actually true. Living in Canada, one of the most popular comments among those who are English-born and under the age of 18 is "I hate these government forced French classes." <-- Or something that wouldn't fit in the AUP...Onwards, I'll update the OP, once GranTurismo chooses a favourite of his two choices. Sorry to be a jerk about it, but, I don't know which language to put you down for, when you put two languages up, without specifying which one you want me to put you up for...

English vernacular is like wonder bread, though-- nothing special.
I'm serious about German though. As a german-speaker, all you have to do is say the words clearly and you sound like a leader. Look at Martin Luther, for example. One day after church he was complaining under his breath and his fellow Germans rallied around him, encouraging him to write it down and nail it to the door. Boom! Lutheranism.

Lol, no. Not the renaissance. The protestant reformation maybe, but the church brought that upon itself.
Anyway, all German people sound like the guy from the Kostritzer commercial, right?
That's why you can use just anybody for technical narration.
