Hmm spanish or chinese would be most helpful statistically, but French or German would be best for understanding things i want to read + watch.
Also knowing latin or ancient greek is great for showing off.. lots of buildings around here that have latin on themand it hurts me when i don't know 100% what they say.
Russian or Estonian, both of which are because I frequently listen to lots of music t
Me too!
Whatever language the Voynich manuscript is written in.
language that nobody speaks in your region
I realize this is a bit pedantic, but if you live in a city, there aren't really languages that aren't spoken in your region.
But for my choice, definitely Aztec. There's nothing more fun to say than Aztec words. Tlachtli. Quetzalcoatl. Axolotl. Tlapalpoyactic.
(That last one is the word for the color "orange")
I see your pedantry and raise you my own:
There are absolutely languages nobody speaks in your region even if you live in a city.
I therefore choose sign language or Assembly.
Heh, I guess I wouldn't say I "speak" it, but between programming games and actual coding, I think I've used 4 or 5 different dialects of assembly.
Japanese, for the media. But really…
Loxian. The language was created by Enya’s songwriter, Roma Ryan, and the two of them are the only users of Loxian. Ryan’s husband Nicky (Enya’s producer) passed way last year, and his wife is probably not far behind. She’s in her 80s (Enya is in her mid-60s herself).
It is a real language and it exists in exactly five songs by Enya. The best one IMO being The Loxian Gate. The only reason we have translations is because Roma herself has written them, and we have to take her at her word that they are accurate, because it’s her language.
If you don’t want to look up any songs and hear it, it sounds like Gaelic (traditional Irish language) with some Elvish (like from Lord of the Rings, which Enya did the song May it Be from, and sang part of it in Elvish) mixed in.
