    Default What dead language would you learn if you could?

    This includes dead languages that are poorly attested i.e. Dacian, Thracian, Illyrian, Etruscan, Lusitanian... etc

    A friend who took Latin classes once sent me a picture of a sign that was hanging in this class room. It said:

    "Latijn is een taal zo dood als een pier.
    Dus waarom, in vredesnaam, leren wij het hier ?"

    (Latin is a language that's a dead as doornail. So why, for Pete's sake, do we still learn it here ?)



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Etruscan, Akkadian, some Anatolian language would also be cool although they're extinct.

    It is been a long time that i haven't see anyone speaking nor writting in this language, even though i am from a Lusophone country. So we can assume it is probably dead.
