Erm, if you want unique languages try Friesian (spoken by less than 5000 people in Northern Holland, and the only European language that can't be traced to any other language) or Cornish (far more interesting than Welsh). Around 7 million people speak Serbo-Croat and it is a fairly easily traceable off-shoot of Cyrillic Russian. I am of Yugoslav origin and found nothing more hilarious than the fact that after the split the learn-by-tape-and-book companies (Colloquial X, X For Beginners, etc) stopped doing 'Serbo-Croat' and started doing 'Serbian' and 'Croatian' as separate packages, each containing the exact same books & tapes, with just a different cover! There are in fact subtle pronounciation differences between the regions which might be included now if they've actually updated things properly, but it's no different to doing 'London English' and 'Manchester English' as separate packages. Very politically correct, but also very stupid.

I was on the Isle of Man the day that the very last Manx-speaker died.
And, no I wasn't responsible for his death.
So, like Latin, it is now spoken only as a dead language.
Wish Corporate-Speak would go the same way.............

Perhaps Slobodan, Radovan or Ratko would have been a more appropriate moniker.

far too wise for me perhaps you listen to records backwards to find the hidden meaning?
