>If one wanted to learn a language, not for the purposes of actually utilizing it in real life conversing with others, but for the solitary intellectual fields that would be unlocked by doing so as well as the unique points of view unlocked by the aphorisms and grammatical structure of the language, which one would be best to learn?
Math.

I would recommend the language that's most different from your mother tongue.
I'm Hungarian native, studied English, Japanese, Russian and Basque. All different families, different logic, different writing system, different phonology.
If you only speak English, your best bet is Japanese or Russian, because they're both exotic and have plenty of study material and entertainment (novels, movies, etc).
German would make the least sense in your case, since it's very similar to English.
Good luck, it's a great journey and definitely worth it!

The languages with the most published research and likely to have lots of cutting edge research in future.

I'm planning on being fluent Russian and Mandarin by around 2028. I just need to become fluent in Thai (2019) because I have ancestry there. I wouldn't recommend Thai to anyone though, unless it was personal.

You're never going to bother learning it anyway, so what difference does it make which language you don't learn?

It's English, and I think it will be in at least the next 20 years, too.

Languages, as I assume OP knows English. But there are other languages with published literature. Fairly evident English has the most research and will continue to do so.

Learning a language for the purpose of reading more research seems like a waste of time anyway. I'm not too sure how beneficial being bi or multilingual (and studying a language and not your actual field) would have on being a better scientist or mathematician anyway. Likely marginal.
