Less Anglo-centric, perhaps. You could list it by language families, for instance. Or, by geographic area origins.

Anyone here that can speak "Rap English"?. I still can't understand half of it. But it sounds nice.

My point when I launched this poll was to try & get an idea (as this forum is mostly in English anyway) of how many of the participants were "native speakers" or not...
If you look in the archives you will find the results of a past poll (initiated by DesertGrandma --Hi DG!) on "what country are you from"...
