know any languages you think most people don't?

Well, for me...
My family speaks a language called malayalam, that's derived from sanskrit and Tamil. It's spoken mainly in the deep south of India. I don't speak fluently but I can understand it. My ability to speak,read, and write it leaves a lot to be desired.

haha, don't hate on the malus . Heh, i'm surprised there are that enough malayalees there to gang up on a lone bengali, but that's cool. At our school, there aren't a whole lot of subcontinental people, and in my experience most brown folk I meet are from the north. In other places I've lived there have been higher concentrations of south Indian people, which was nice. Are there a lot of brown folk at your school aside from all those malus haha, any more bengalis? Maybe you can band together and defend yourselves, or even better, unite and coexist in harmony, haha.
