If you like cold places you should take on Norwegian too. We are freezing our tails off right now :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's a very organised and meaningful way to classify the 20 languages that you wanna learn. Jia you! :)

Well first of all is a list of language I want to learn in order to gain access to resources for learning the languages on my second list. I'll only learn those languages on the first list as far as I need them, not that I really want them (as much as those on the second list).
1. English 2. German 3. Russian 4. French 5. Spanish 6. Mandarin 7. Arabic 8. Japanese 9. Persian etc. These 20 languages I really want to learn, but finding resources for some of them is hard in just one or two modern languages. 1. Latin 2. Ancient Greek 3. Sanskrit 4. Pali 5. Old English 6. Old Norse 7. Ancient Hebrew 8. Ancient Aramaic 9. Classical Arabic 10. Ancient Egyptian 11. Old Slavonic 12. Classical Chinese 13. Classical Japanese 14. Avestan 15. Pahlavi 16. Classical Nahuatl 17. Classical Mayan 18. Ge'ez 19. Gothic 20. Ottoman Turkish Edited by Delodephius on 03 December 2010 at 9:42pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The "essential" top 10, in no particular order, for all the usual reasons plus my personal interest:
French Mandarin Spanish Japanese German Korean Italian Russian Arabic Portuguese The bottom 10 are much more random and to be honest, I was stretching with most of this part of the list... Dutch - access to Dutch-speaking parts of the world, and Afrikaans Turkish - access to other Turkic languages Persian/Farsi - an important language in Central Asia Hindi - access to Urdu and other related languages Swedish - access to other Scandinavian languages Swahili - a main African language Indonesian/Malay - a main language in Southeast Asia Thai - another somewhat widely used language in parts of Southeast Asia I'm having a huge problem coming up with 3 more, so I'd just add a bunch of interesting languages that I'll probably never find useful on a practical level but which are interesting to me, maybe another dialect of Chinese, Danish and Latin?
