Dying Languages
This is unfortunate--I've always thought it would be cool to learn Welsh, or even Britonnic (if anyone even knows that language anymore).

"Britonnic" is a group of languages that includes Welsh and Cornish and some others. I'd love to learn a language. I think it's my worst subject. I may change my major to linguistics. Who knows?

I'm not sure about Cornish, but Britonnic morphed into Welsh, and perhaps a few other languages depending on the geography, some time around the 5th Century AD.
