1. In Spanish SMS = "Servicio de Mensajes Cortos" but we always use the SMS abbreviation or say "Mensajes de texto"(text message).
2. I don't use either of them, I always try to write fully, if I use any it'd be predictive text, as I found "text-speak" awful and dumb(in Spanish)...
3. I think I just answered this in the second one...the sad part is people actually USING the sms "language" for everything else, like in instant messaging or when they speak, besides it does great harm to orthography
Well, in Japanese we write "39" = San Kyuu = Thank you "4649" = yon ro shi ku = Yoroshiku = It has no direct english meaning, but it could mean "nice to meet you", "please", "light heartedly". in Bahasa indonesia: "gw" = gue = me "ntn" = nonton = watching "knp" = kenapa = why "kpn" = kapan = when "tgl" = tanggal = date "tlg" = tolong = help "gpp" = ngga apa apa = no problem we have too many to list down here. haha
1. Well, my language is English, so no point in me giving you a list...
2. I never use predictive spelling -- that can backfire, especially when you're texting in different languages. Text speak only for certain stock phrases like "btw". I don't text very often, though.
3. When telegrams were common, nobody would have allowed BE OR NOT THAT QUESTION STOP in an English essay. "SMS language" is a jargon, perfect for SMS, not so perfect for other applications. Well, IMHO, anyhow. ;)

I really don't know any. I really should learn some though because I still use a rotary phone.
