The list of languages you can list as your TLs on this site is pretty thorough. In fact, I think tht an unlistible lang would hve to be pretty obscure!
However, I m doing one myself: Mohawk. I heard about this language somewhere down the line nd for some reason have always been fascinated by it. So, when I saw some pretty cheap resources for it, I snapped it up. So now I'm curious: Who else is studying an unlistible language? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I was dabbling in/studying Meadow Mari in the summer. Most of the Uralic languages are excluded from the forum's database of languages.
Depending on your interpretation, my studying of Northern Saami (and my previous foray into Inari Saami) has not been displayed in my profile because there isn't a language called "Sámi". Using "Sámi" in this situation is similar to saying that Ari or Sprachprofi are studying "Sinitic" or even "Chinese" rather than Mandarin (and in the case of Ari, he's also studying Cantonese). The linguists Ante Aikio and Pekka Sammallahti who specialize in Saamic linguistics have compared the divergence within Saamic to that which is observed within the Germanic languages. P.S. I suspect that the association of "Sámi" with some unified language also came about because people in Sápmi refer to their native language with the elements Sáme-, Säämi etc. It's a little bit like the use of the element "Slov(en)" (cf. Slav(on)) by Slovenes and Slovaks referring to their native languages as Slovenščina and Slovenčina respectively. E.g. - Southern Saami: Åarjelsaemien gïele - Lule Saami: Julevsámegiella - Northern Saami: Davvisámegiella - Inari Saami: Anarâškielâ (cf. “Säämi-suomâ sänikirje” i.e. "[Inari] Saami-Finnish Dictionary") - Skolt Saami: Sääˊmǩiõll - Kildin Saami: Кӣллт сāмь кӣлл (“Kiillt saam' kiill”) Edited by Chung on 30 December 2012 at 4:30am 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Just out of curiosity: Where are these languages spoken and by how many?
I have heard of a Native American tribe called Mohawk, so I was wondering if the Mohawk language that you study is related to it? 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It is, it's that tribe's language. Spoken by 3,000 around NW New York State and the Nearby parts of Quebec. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I dabbled in Inuktitut for awhile, which is not listed, and I have since switched to Cree which is not listed either. Both are Canadian First Nations' languages so I am not surprised.
