Latin so I could easily learn romance languages.

Japanese comes close because anime.

Icelandic

>>74809050
Latin
Mapudungun

>>74815335
He's an idiot amerifat that thinks because it's called "afrikaan" it MUST be the language of Africa. Then he calls the american that called him out a stupid american.

>>74809050
Finnish probably

>>74809050
Irish because it's fucking beautiful

Mongolian

Not even a joke. I'd like to learn the traditional script though, fuck those blocky ass ugly ass cyrillic letters

Coptic

>>74815356
>Latin so I could easily learn romance languages.
If you really want to easily learn Romance languages go with Spanish, it's simple enough and shares most of the common romance features. Latin would be like learning Old English to learn modern English more easily.

Latin
It would make me look super smart

Italian

I'm not a very loud speaker and italians is very loud and emotional, would help me a lot. Also it sounds good and girls love it. A dude I know he purposely keeps his italian accent because it's attractive

Some native American languages, or simply some languages in my country.

>>74818927
what languages other than Vietnamese are in Vietnam?

Honestly? Probably hungarian, sounds like an interesting language for sure, also i wan't to really know what's the connection between our languages.

Otherwise if i'd be any other nationale, i'd learn finnish

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAoJpAOtTns

>>74818960
There'rẻ 50 languages in Vietnam. Many have more than 100.000 speakers (including Tai, Nung, Hmong, Muong, Ta’oi, Bahnar, Caolan, Chạm, Jarai, Rade, Sedang, San Chay, Tay, Coho, Mnong, Raglai). Muong is the language closest to Vietnamese, i would take a month to get fluent in it.

>>74809050
Sanskrit

>>74819188
That sounds more like accents

>>74819188
shiii. So is vietnamese just like the national language? kinda like mandarin in china?

>>74819459
Nope, Vietnamese itself has 5 dialects. Those that i listed a legit languages.
>>74819504
Not really, 85% of Vietnamese population is Kinhs (ethnic Vietnamese). Most of those are highlanders, they just live in their places.

>>74819567
*are legit languages.

why did you put arabic before english

Basque

German
Japanese
Russian

Basque
Welsh
Lithuanian
PIE
A native American language

Cherokee. My white ancestors used to speak it because there were a lot of Cherokee neighbors around, now it's not as common because it's not as useful. About as useless as you can get really.

Also Beijing. Seems highly useful, but really I can get by almost anywhere with English. Realistically I don't need to learn Beijing even if I moved there. But Chinese/Han civilization is neat stuff. You probably won't let me count that as useless though.

Finish learning Irish and Welsh
PIE
Tongan
Xhosa
Occitane
Mongolian
Finnish

Any Caucasian language because that'd be a mindfuck.

Hungarian because it looks cool and the folks in kurva anyátok (one of the few generals I haven't filtered) seem chill as fuck.

>>74809050
German

Dutch and Finnish cos they sound really cool

I already know German so that might help with Dutch somehow maybe

Irish because of my ancestors :)

Basque, Romanian, and Dzongkha.

Hebrew for meme reasons

>>74838908

Classical greek so I could read the books.

But it seems like a nonsensical amount of effort for someone who does not work with philology.

Finnish
Hungarian
