I'm looking for a word (or concise phrase) that means "fellow speaker of one's native language." Do any come into mind?
The context isn't really important, but I wanted to write something about the feeling you have when you stumble across someone who speaks your mother tongue in a foreign country. And it's all coming out way too wordy.
Anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks in advance
