Where to place "only" for greatest effect.

Hello,

I'm actually a native speaker, but I was wondering if anyone had ever thought of this "issue".

Would you say there is a difference in meaning between these two sentences? What is the difference?

A) I speak Japanese only.

B) I speak only Japanese.

Thanks for any responses!
