Yes

Additional Details:

Allow me to take you on a whimsical journey through my language history. Picture this.. I was born in a quaint little village where babies didn't cry—they conjugated verbs. My first word wasn't 'mama' or 'dada'; it was 'sesquipedalian,' because why use one syllable when you can use six? By the time I was in kindergarten, I was writing haikus during recess and reciting Shakespearean soliloquies to my stuffed animals.

You see, English and I have a storied relationship. We’ve been through thick and thin, from the turbulent times of prepositions and conjunctions to the serene pastures of idiomatic expressions. My bedtime stories were tales of heroic adjectives and adventurous adverbs, narrated by none other than the ghost of Charles Dickens himself (or so I like to believe).

In school, while other kids were learning how to spell ‘cat,’ I was delving into the mysteries of the Oxford comma and the subjunctive mood. My notebooks were filled with arcane words like ‘floccinaucinihilipilification’ and ‘antidisestablishmentarianism,’ which I wielded like a linguistic wizard casting spells.

But let’s not forget the digital age. I’ve had countless debates in online forums about the proper usage of 'their,' 'there,' and 'they’re,' and don’t even get me started on the great GIF pronunciation debate. Hard ‘G’ for life, by the way.

So, to answer your question: Is English my first language? Well, it’s not just my first language; it’s my muse, my loyal companion, and sometimes my arch-nemesis when autocorrect decides to have a mind of its own. But yes, we go way back, English and I, and we’re in it for the long haul."

my first language is Sanskrit, my second language is Marathi, my third language is Hindi and my fourth language is English as English is a curse which is given to us by Britishers as it replaced the oldest language in the universe Sanskrit as Britishers destroyed everything related to Sanskrit

Mine is yaglish lol 😂 it’s wthecklish.

Actually is it English, but I haven’t perfected it and got lazy. I also forgot some Spanish which I should know and have been taught. I should’ve had two main languages because of being mixed but parents had other sights in mind.
