The top 10 languages spoken in the world

2007-07-31T05:56:00.001-07:00


10. *French* -- Number of speakers: 129 million
Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in
tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti.
Oh, and France too. We're actually very lucky that French is so popular,
because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries,
and Dutch kissing (ew!).
To say "hello" in French, say "Bonjour" (bone-JOOR).

&nbsp; 9. *Malay*--Indonesian Number of speakers: 159 million
Malay-Indonesian is spoken - surprise - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually,
we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of
Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian. But they're all pretty much
based on the same root language, which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the
world.Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000
islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world. Malaysia
borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of
Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
To say "hello" in Indonesian, say "Selamat pagi" (se-LA-maht PA-gee).

8. *Portuguese* -- Number of speakers: 191 million
Think of Portuguese as the little language that could. In the 12th Century,
Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world
with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry
the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine
if a guy named "Prince Henry the Navigator" became a florist?) Because
Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established
itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it's the national
language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique.
To say "hello" in Portuguese, say "Bom dia" (bohn DEE-ah).

7. *Bengali* -- Number of speakers: 211 million
In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks
Bengali. And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the
population is growing so fast, just breathing the air can get you pregnant),
the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people
would expect.
To say "hello" in Bengali, say "Ei Je" (EYE-jay).

6. *Arabic* -- Number of speakers: 246 million
Arabic, one of the world's oldest languages, is spoken in the Middle East,
with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria,
Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of
the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So
many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in 1974 it was
made the sixth official language of the United Nations.
To say "hello" in Arabic, say "Al salaam a'alaykum" (Ahl sah-LAHM ah
ah-LAY-koom) .

5. *Russian* -- Number of speakers: 277 million
Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Yakov Smirnoff are among the millions
of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie
enemies. Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six
languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but
also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. (to name just a few places).
To say "hello" in Russian, say "Zdravstvuite" (ZDRAST-vet- yah).

4. *Spanish* -- Number of speakers: 392 million
Aside from all of those kids who take it in high school, Spanish is spoken
in just about every South American and Central American country, not to
mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish
in the U.S., as many English words are borrowed from the language,
including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande
supreme.
To say "hello" in Spanish, say "Hola" (OH-la).

3. *Hindustani* -- Number of speakers: 497 million
Hindustani is the primary language of India's crowded population, and it
encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is
Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass
that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from
surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you're interested in
learning a little Hindi, there's a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The
film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands
of action/romance/ musicals every year.
To say "hello" in Hindustani, say "Namaste" (Nah-MAH-stay)
.

2. *English* -- Number of speakers: 508 million
While English doesn't have the most speakers, it is the official language of
more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around
the world, including the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean,
Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. We'd tell you more about English, but
you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already. Let's just
move on to the most popular language in the world.
To say "hello" in English, say "What's up, freak?" (watz-UP-freek) .

1. *Mandarin* -- Number of speakers: 1 billion+
&nbsp;Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based
in the most populated country on the planet, China. Beating second-place
English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don't let that lull you into thinking that
Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because
each word can be pronounced in four ways (or "tones"), and a beginner will
invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a
billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello!
To say "hello" in Mandarin, say "Ni hao" (Nee HaOW). ("Hao" is pronounced as
one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and
then raise it again at the end.)

Hi Guys, Resignation letter for u if needed...Poetic Resignation

2007-07-31T05:51:00.001-07:00

The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand; what is my way?
I don't know if I should stay.

To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I don't know if I should stay.

The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The money is good, the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, or wait for pay
I don't know if I should stay!

The managers don't know what they talk
The team doesn't know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I don't know if I should stay.

I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I can't keep switching day by day
I don't know if I should stay.

The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
No more will I walk their way,
It's all done, I won't stay.

Thanks & Regards
Employee

Manager Response

Reply: What I want to say? (Manager)

The decision is good or decision is bad
Only God knows still I am glad
Keep moving in life that is what I can say

If you feel right go in the same way
May god give you the work, the challenge you want
Anyway there is always a second chance
Chances are there, grab them snatch them
That is what I can say

Keep on jumping companies to get more and more and more....
That will keep you always a fore (Even to me)
From my experience I can tell you
Being in software development is like taking hell out of you
You are frustrated since you have no quality work
And you were frustrated because you had quantity work

It's always like that previous job was better than the current one
And expects the new job will be much better than this one
But what you get is a frustration level up to sun
Than you will again send the resignation like this one
This is all what I want to say

Have you completed all the formalities?
Filled the form and got it signed from department humanities (HR)
At last I appreciate your contribution to the company
Even though there was not any....

You will keep a copy of this with you for FYI
Don't feel shy
As I also got it some time back from my old manger say Hi....
That is all what I want to say.

Thanks & Regards
Manager

Shock On a... Shock....too shocky..

2007-07-31T03:16:00.001-07:00


A shock in life could happen anyhow & anywhere.... Worth Reading!!.........

There was a contest in TCS to write a fictional story for 500 words max
which would start with the line :

"On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway
tracks leading to the Chennai station "

This is what a guy wrote for the contest....... and surprisingly, it was
adjudged the best short story :))

On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks
leading to the Chennai station. At once I was held back to see someone in
that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the
front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was
blood all over the body which was lying face down.

It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have caused the end
of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the
gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which was fluttering
in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was

surprised to see the phrase "appraisal letter" on it.

With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the 
envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead guy. The tag
around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that
he might be a software engineer. I opened the envelope to find a shining
paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders
broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the appraisal
amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was not even, as much as the cost of
the letter on which the appraisal details were printed....

My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind
saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"...  As a fellow
worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake
of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he
would have experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in
his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone
blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his
salary.

While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's
name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange co-incidence, this
guy's name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting.
With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself
fainted for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly
like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead
there!!!!!!!!

While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My
heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who
was behind......... splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen
as I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair
patting on my shoulder saying, "wake up man? Come to meeting room number
two. I have your appraisal letter ready".

Jokes

2007-05-26T00:15:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Here are some nice jokes...
So I am the first contributer....

Where is God?

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous.

They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

They boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually.

So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?".

They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed.

So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer.

So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,

"We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it!"
