I did not know this until his most newest song. What other languages does he talk?

He's spoken in toungs, so wouldn't that be all the languages?

nah, nah... Prince has yet to truly speak in (spiritual) tongues. Now, Denise Matthews -- she definitely does, through the Holy Spirit, of course.

I was like 4 when I was on my bed in my own room talking with god. God said he wanted to show me something, and I said okay. I started speaking in toungs for like 3 minutes. Then I was explained what it was. I was like, what good is that for, still not sure if it is useful or not.

smoking crack at 4, that explains a lot...

SausagePlatter said:

Yeah, what other languages?
...cause Spanish he doesn't

Prince's mother is Swedish. So he speaks English, Swedish and Portugese, cause his wife is a Brazilian. Or Argentinian, I can't remember which.

Mani has an italian background...

And I Argentina they don't speak Portuguese....

MikeMatronik said:

Uhm, they don't? I was wrong anyway, his current wife Mayte Testolini is as far as I know at least part-Hawaian. So I'd figure he can speak at least some words of whatever language they speak in Hawaii.

He speaks the language of love.

He also speaks the language of nonsense, "A feast, a feast a smorgasboard at least..." etc.

Well I think I speak for us all when I say this thread is wack!

Prince only speaks English. He may have picked up a few French and Spanish words but it's obvious he doesn't really speak those languages.

Prince's mom is so not Swedish.

And for MickG speaking in tongue at 4, I'm sure next we'll learn he became a boy preacher and criss-crossed the deep South, and that one day he was sleeping in some motel when he realized his whole body was imprinted on the sheets like some holy shroud, which he now probably wants Prince to autograph.

now THAT is comedy.

all i can say it i hope you were kidding. his mother is black.....black and american. not spanish, not indian, not egyptian, not puerto rican and not italian. just black.blackity black black blackity black.


Prince don't know no foreign languages. he is a product of the American public education system. hell, we should be glad he can speak in complete sentences. you ever seen someone try to have a conversation with james brown? it hurts. bad.

As far as I know, he is Englishfied

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the most obvious?! Prince speaks (and invented) Princebonics!

Novabreaker said:

Please tell me you're kidding. If you need a pic of her let me know.

Hah. It's so obvious that he only speaks English. I was actually quite surprised to see that even after living together with Mayte for most part of the 90s he couldn't even bring himself to correctly prounounce those Spanish names at the Oscars last year.

"oh stewardess,...i speak jive"

Fluent Tamar. It drips from his lips.

Dont forget he speaks Ebonics and also has his own "prince talk" lingo...He also speaks morris...meaning like morris day...awhaaa!

Should be no surprise that Prince can speak in complete sentences. Most Americans can. The surprise should be that we have a president that can not speak in complete sentences. Lol.

James Brown grew up in poverty, and most likely did not have access to a decent education. The same can not be said for Prince.
