Re: Multi-languages
Effect in which sense?
As per my experience its other way around. My mother tongue is Sindhi and I've been hearing thayth (Pure) Sindhi from my elders since my childhood that help me a lot to understand different regional languages including Punjabi, Saraiki, Hindko. Sindhi also has lots of words from Sanskirt, therefore, I can even understand Hindi to some extent.
Re: Multi-languages
yup it does, my punjabi/urdu accent is changing after i start learning italiano.
Re: Multi-languages
Yes somehow and affects our accent that doesn't mean we forgotten our mother language.
Re: Multi-languages
No, not at all.
Re: Multi-languages
I left pakland many years ago and I know that I cant speak/write the same Urdu that I could back then. My English is much better now than it was many years ago. So I think its like a trade off.

Re: Multi-languages
Amongst Linguistics it is common knowledge that being bilingual or multilingual makes you more intelligent than others. So hip hip hooray for most of us desis! ![]()
Researchers led by Salim Abu-Rabia and Ekaterina Sanitsky of the University of Haifa in Israel said they sought to determine whether knowing two languages — in this study, Russian and Hebrew — would prove an advantage when learning a third language, English.
The researchers found students who spoke Russian and Hebrew demonstrated higher proficiency not only in English, but also in Hebrew. In the intelligence test, the gap was more than 7 percent on the side of the Russian speakers.
“Gaining command of a number of languages improves proficiency in native languages,” Abu-Rabia said in a statement. “Our study has also shown that applying language skills from one language to another is a critical cognitive function that makes it easier for an individual to go through the learning process successfully. Hence, it is clear that tri-lingual education would be most successful when started at a young age and when it is provided with highly structured and substantive practice.”
*Abu-Rabia, Sanitsky and colleagues tested sixth graders — 40 Russian/Hebrew speakers and 42 native Hebrew-speaking students.

Ofcourse when you are trying translate some words in other than your native/original language. This is how you become more intelligent than others.
