1. Norse, definately
and I speak latin. Norse is just way cooler...it makes you sound like you're about to smash something, whereas latin sounds like you're naming an animal

4. I think that we may have to take this outside
There can be no question of any language other than Phonecian.

Sanskrit? I spit on your sanskrit.

5. You Phonecian Prostitute!
Sanskrit will tear you apart and reincarnate you as a elephant-dung parisite!

7. Latin if you're drinking wine....
Old Norse if brews are being quaffed.

Sanskrit is pretty awesome.

By the way, do you speak Sanskrit or any other Devanagari languages?
