Latest reader poll results: the native languages of the readership

I'm stopping this one a bit earlier (but with over 1200 votes), since small numbers don't show up as percentages at all in the Micropoll software at a certain point (though the number of respondents in should still appear in the chart below).  I'd be curious to hear in the comments about some of the "other" languages that are native for readers.  No surprise that the majority are native English speakers, though it's an impressively international readership, with nearly a third of readers having a language other than English as their native tongue.
