Miskito, but I'll probably be giving it up soon because I'm moving out of the area. It's great fun, even though
resources are pretty scarce. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's either Proto-Norse or Gothic for me. I have no idea about the relative popularity of those, but I guess Gothic is less popular nowadays, although it has been heavily studied not so long ago (maybe 50 years?).

I would have to say Welsh, although I didn't study it for very long. Or maybe Ancient Greek, whichever is less
"popular". Where I live, everyone is shocked when they hear I have reached a decent level of fluency in Polish. But Polish is pretty commonplace when it comes to this forum! In the future I would like to learn Irish and probably some African languages - maybe, Swahili, I'm not sure yet. I am also vaguely interested in Quechua, Aymara, and Nahuatl. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're interested in Quechua and Nahuatl, but not Mayan? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'd like to learn Khmer, the official language of Cambodia.

I am potentially interested in all the languages of Central and South America, although I don't know much about them. Years ago I looked at a textbook for Aymara and it awoke my interest. I probably won't get a chance to learn any of these languages any time soon, though, because there are a lot of other languages higher on my list. EDIT: I just saw that you're learning Miskito. I met someone in Nicaragua a few years ago who was a native speaker, and we had a whole conversation about pronunciation, but my Spanish wasn't as good back then and I didn't understand much.

I've dabbled in some of the rarer indigenous languages of the British Isles, including Manx, Cornish, Shetlandic (many words from the now-extinct Norn language), and Yola (a language spoken in County Wexford, Ireland up until the very early 20th century). I've also spent a few days checking out Chukchee (the language of the indigenous people of northeastern Siberia), and am currently learning Hawaiian and Pidgin. I'm not sure how many people are into Ancient Egyptian, but it also usually raises an eyebrow or two when I mention it's on my study list - sadly not so many "living" native speakers these days though (excluding liturgical Coptic). ;) Edited by Teango on 11 December 2012 at 12:28am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It seems there is no Cantonese input on iPhone although I can "write" the Cantonese characters in by switching to the "traditional characters handwriting" mode. That's what I sometimes do when I write to my sister if I have time (to sound more like when we actually talk), otherwise I just write in English, it's much easier and faster. :p Edited by jontam on 12 December 2012 at 6:36pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
