I've been studying Romani (Gipsy) language for several weeks in order to grasp the grammar concepts and some colloquial phrases since my cousins live next to a Gipsy community in my country. I would like to study it at a deeper level some day in the future

Croatian is my least popular language and it will probably remain so for a long time.

Welsh

OT: Recently I started wondering if creating a Celtic languages team for TAC 2013 would be possible.

My least popular languages are Afrikaans and Hindi. Maybe I will add Telugu, Kannada or Marathi in the future which give me five languages that aren't popular with language learners.

Do I win? Is there a prize?!!!

O.o Is that a made up language? The only Google hits it gets are from your blog.


Spelling out there is a bit arbitrary ...
try "Pááfang.   Though I
think my spelling is more common, at least among the 1320 speakers!


Is there an Assimil course on it yet? Or maybe Pimsleur?

Karelian. It's closely related to Finnish and spoken in Russian regions bordering with Finland... so obviously it's had a lot of influence from Russian and it looks very cool to me:)))

Hungarian and Czech probably, I don't know which of them might be more "unpopular". Or Swedish? As at least arround here you find much less speakers of Swedish then of Czech or Hungarian.

I have been thinking about maybe studying Icelandic or Faroese. And ages ago I have taken a course in Ancient Egyptian (mainly about reading hieroglyphes, but that could not really be considered as serious studying, or I at least can't remember much of it now.
