Afrikaans.

Russian, because it sounds incredibly awesome and it would allow me to sing along properly to Arkona.

Cool, I'll probably have a look later. I haven't learnt very much so far, just the basics of pronunciation and basic words.

Veeno posted a language that sounded like nothing but clicks and random ass sounds.The name escapes me.

Reminded me of the http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question9978.html in "The Gods Must Be Crazy" when I read that earlier....not the same though.

Russian would be pretty cool to learn but I don't really feel like going out of my way to learn it at the moment, so I'll save it for the future.

Italian. I checked out a few books from the library to touch on the language. I figure it'll be a good one to learn since I'm a chef who specializes in Italian food.

... Sounds like an alien from a sci fi movie.

Concerning Esperanto, you may be familiar with a book in Morrowind called, "N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis". It is in Esperanto, and the story behind it is somewhat interesting. It seems one of the developers sought out a quick and dirty way of putting a strange sounding language in a book for the game....imo.

It might not surprise you that I take every copy of N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvatis! and drop it in the nearest body of water as a superstition.

Latin.

It just sounds good.

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:13 pm

Swedish, Arabic, Sanskrit, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, basically every main language and other old ones, but I know I won't learn all those.

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:53 pm

Latin.

It just sounds good.

I wish we went back to Latin words Sol > Sun, Luna > Moon and Terra > Earth.

Also considering Europe already has one currency we should have one language, should be latin, screw english.

I would love to learn Samoan. It's an incredibly beautiful language. If you've ever heard someone speak in Samoan, it almost sounds like they're singing. And when you actually do sing in Samoan, it's the most amazing thing ever. All in all just a pretty language that would be practically worthless living in a place with very very few native Samoans.

C′mon! no one wants to learn portuguese? :tongue:
I′d like to learn russian and german.Perhaps one day... :rolleyes:

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:56 am

I studied japanese at uni just for fun, so I guess japanese

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:54 pm

I want to become proficient with Japanese, not just for fun though.

Spanish seems like a good language to learn just for fun

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:36 pm

French (already know quite a bit)
German

.. and Mandarin (Chinese dialect), since that's a second language my wife speaks.

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:09 am

for fun?
Latin. if for no other reason than the fact that it makes most western languages much easier to learn.

for thuper-therious?
i already know german, so next would be japanese and mandarin/cantonese. that's where teh money is =x

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:13 am

We did own them too at one point. I dont see an issue with ignoring the facts. And becuase of that they speak mostly English (or is Canada more French ?) Just assuming the same for Sweden/Norway/Finland and expect most speak Swedish.

:swear: :swear: :swear: Finland does not like.

And I'd learn Latin, just because it's cool.

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:44 pm

German, because you can't say anything in that tongue without sounding like a complete badass. And Japanese for my importing needs.

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:46 am

Russia, as it is supposedly the hardest language to learn
Gaelic as I have a lot of Irish herotage

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:35 pm

Latin is cool, but I did not choose it because I will most likely get to take it anyway.
I know a little Russian, cool language, but hard to pronounce if English is your native tongue.

As a youngster I always thought about giving Japanese a try, but was discouraged by folks saying it was a waste of time just to import video games and such. So, if it was just for fun, I think I'd go for it. There have been a lot of games over the years that I can't play. That'd be fun, though I suspect learning the actual language would not be.
