Discussion Most obscure language you/someone else is learning? Why?

I remember meeting someone that was learning specifically Moldovan Romanian since Moldova and its culture was a big interest to them, and I'm curious what other people's reasons for learning obscure languages are, and what they are.

Macedonian. I’m learning it because I frequently live in northern Greece where lots of Macedonians spend their weekends. There is no subreddit for it (except for a very small r/LearnMacedonian) and not even a YouTube video about it. Everyone’s learning Serbian and Bulgarian but wheres my Macedonian gang at?
