Since the artist is Malaysian: Malaysian language?

"Malay". Northern dialect too, to be exact (note the use of "Hang" as a 2nd person pronoun).

I don't think you should be calling her makcik, Mokou.

"Bahasa Malaysia" ? :)

Well, Bahasa Malaysia refers to the Malaysian variant of Standard Malay. This is more like Loghat Utara or Bahasa Melayu Kedah.

So, kinda like Malay Oop North, I think. Closest Japanese equivalent would be the Touhoku dialect (up north, heavy focus on tourism, etc.).

Just how many languages do you speak? I'm running out of fingers.

This will be the answer to your question.

And if you think Northern dialect is hard,you obviously never heard Kelantanese dialect yet.

I think BarefeetChaser is asking about how many languages does NNescio speak.

And the intended answer with that link was to say "a lot of them," I think.

That lemang sounds interesting. Is it good, or is it one of those foods that different people have different opinions about?

Yeah that's what I meant. Seriously though, Adolf95's link sure is an eye-opener.

It is universally good, hasn't meet anyone who dislike lemang.

And kids, do not mess with fireworks, especially home made ones. Even if you survive you'll lose something else.

Not counting dialects, I consider myself to be proficient only in four.

The rest are at about elementary to intermediate levels. Enough to say, order food at a restaurant, or ask for directions, but not enough to carry a conversation for long, and I have difficulty keeping up with fast speech. And of course, my pronunciation sucks.

Combine with vast knowledge about chemistry, physics, biology and others (or just superior google fu). You also mentioned about some theses so probably at least 1 or 2 master or phd degrees. You are just amazing mate.

Still, very very impressive skills. Very.

"Only" is good xD.
To get even a second correct is damn difficult if you're not growing up bilingual.
Like you said: More than just impressive.

All aboard the NNescio appreciation train! I doubt his knowledge is just google, most universities will mandate a fairly well rounded course in those subjects even if you want to be an English major, and if you go further, the information sticks with you because everything in the upper division classes build on the previous subject. Of course, you aren't born with having such wide array of knowledge. Certainly NNescio spent many years studying and dedication to become the person he is today. I am always amazed at the impressive backgrounds and knowledge of Danbooru users here, all united for the love of animu.

Mokou confirmed for "orang KL."

Or Sabahan dialect, for that matter. Trust me, anyone not used to us speaking Sabahan will think that we use formal language (a.k.a. "Bahasa Baku"), and a source of constant frustration whenever I have conversations with non-Sabahans.

Urang Sabah baini! Bah, sia jalan dulu, pigi kedai mo minum nescape ping. Eh, baru sia taringat, aisbuk kusung skarang di rumah, nanti teda makan pula suda pulang. Bah, salamualaikum!

Not the original pure Sabahan but it has a bit of it's accent.

hahaha, bulih bah kalau kau! Waalaikumussalam~

On related note, Suika & Yuugi will find themselves at home with us Sabahans. :D

I didn't expect this to be here... Oh well, at least my raya was good.

Got a load of cash into my pockets, duit raya for life! Konfem hangpa tak dapat duit raya banyak! lol

And Mokou, use tins next year. They're quite sturdy...... Sort off?
