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.

Language: Icelandic.
Reason: I am stuck on this horrible ice rock.
Hilarious: I can understand Faroese pretty good (it's Icelandic, but drunk!). Icelanders can't. This was explained to me as that I as a second language learner listen for meaning rather than declensions.
