If this happened to you, what language would you want to end up speaking?

Myself, I think I'd like to start speaking in Mandarin Chinese at ninety to nothin'.

Keep politics out of this thread, please.

Afroasiatic with an emphasis on Ancient Egyptian along with the written language or ancient Mayan and their ancestors along with the written language. Either would be fine as the cultures fascinate me.

Spanish, simply because I'd be able to use it on a daily basis regretfully.

If you include the ability to read and speak, Id say Latin. Lots of ancient documents and historical items that would be interesting to read.

Astrophysics. I'd love to be able to read the chalkboards in the background of sci-fi shows.

Otherwise I'd like to know Latin.

Whatever it is the drivers speak when they try to play Language Barrier with me at work. Motherfucker, you know why you're here, you know what info I need, this isn't your first rodeo, this ain't your first rodeo with me, you were here last month, I remember, because of course I remember "Ramandeep", your name might as well just be Gay Sex, now give me the goddamned pickup number!

All that, but in like, Hindi, I guess.

In all seriousness, Spanish would be the most useful for work, day to day, and vacations.

If I got hit hard enough, do you think I could understand women?

Naaaah, never mind, it's not worth it.
