Yeah that's what I meant. Seriously though, Adolf95's link sure is an eye-opener.
Not counting dialects, I consider myself to be proficient only in four.
The rest are at about elementary to intermediate levels. Enough to say, order food at a restaurant, or ask for directions, but not enough to carry a conversation for long, and I have difficulty keeping up with fast speech. And of course, my pronunciation sucks.

Combine with vast knowledge about chemistry, physics, biology and others (or just superior google fu). You also mentioned about some theses so probably at least 1 or 2 master or phd degrees. You are just amazing mate.

All aboard the NNescio appreciation train! I doubt his knowledge is just google, most universities will mandate a fairly well rounded course in those subjects even if you want to be an English major, and if you go further, the information sticks with you because everything in the upper division classes build on the previous subject. Of course, you aren't born with having such wide array of knowledge. Certainly NNescio spent many years studying and dedication to become the person he is today. I am always amazed at the impressive backgrounds and knowledge of Danbooru users here, all united for the love of animu.
And if you think Northern dialect is hard,you obviously never heard Kelantanese dialect yet.
Or Sabahan dialect, for that matter. Trust me, anyone not used to us speaking Sabahan will think that we use formal language (a.k.a. "Bahasa Baku"), and a source of constant frustration whenever I have conversations with non-Sabahans.

Urang Sabah baini! Bah, sia jalan dulu, pigi kedai mo minum nescape ping. Eh, baru sia taringat, aisbuk kusung skarang di rumah, nanti teda makan pula suda pulang. Bah, salamualaikum!
Not the original pure Sabahan but it has a bit of it's accent.

On related note, Suika & Yuugi will find themselves at home with us Sabahans. :D
I didn't expect this to be here... Oh well, at least my raya was good.
Got a load of cash into my pockets, duit raya for life! Konfem hangpa tak dapat duit raya banyak! lol
And Mokou, use tins next year. They're quite sturdy...... Sort off?
Oy, I AM cookin' lemang right now, auntie.
Lemang is made from glutinous rice soaked in coconut milk, stuffed into a bamboo tube and roasted over a fire. It's a traditional food consumed during Hari Raya.Enough already! Didja forget about what happened last Raya? And here I thought y'ar going to coo—
Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Malaysian (and Singaporean + Brunei) Malay spelling for the Muslim Eid al-Fitr festivities marking the end of Ramadan.Hey, Mokou... just how many bamboo cannons are ya plannin' to set off this year, huuuh?!
Bamboo cannons are improvised firecrackers made by igniting flammable acetylene gas (generated by reaction between water and calcium carbide) in a confined bamboo tube. They are infamous for blowing the fingers off children.
