I guess it really depends on how people filled out the census form.

So, in other words, none. :P Now I feel cheated because I missed Filipino.. if I had tried Tagalog and it didn't show up I might have tried Filipino. Maybe you could change the type-ins for both so that if you get one you get the other...

I know Spanish, English and Italian. I'm an Australian before you say my comment is irrelevant. I also know some Japanese and I am learning Yiddish. :P

Chinese is more broad than that. Main dialects are Mandarin and Cantonese. There are a bunch of different dialects (Wu ('Shanghainese'), Mi Nan (Taiwanese) etc)
