Either is fine, English likely more accessible for everybody.

Haha, yeah it is. Guess I was just curious about daily life. I'm somewhat of a linguophile.

We've got one, but you're welcome none the less. Maybe you and Minimalist could have a competition - see who can yell, 'You kids get the hell off my lawn!' more convincingly.

I've never been to South Africa. Is it nice there?

Also, apparently each province is only beholden to have facilities for two of those languages, and it could be whichever ones make sense. Limpopo could be isizulu and Afrikaans, and Western Cape could be Setswana and Tshivenda.

Yeah, the job is already filled, but even Min needs time off now and again. Maybe you could be his padawan?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
