Are you interested in the history of your TL? Would you consider learning any of its earlier stages or study its development?

>or study its development? Maybe at a high level, but not in-depth.
I'd be interested in trying to read Schiller, Goethe, Brüder Grimm, and maybe some Luther Bibel, but that's as far back as I'm interested in going, and that's not even that far removed from modern Hochdeutsch, from what I understand.
I read some ETA Hoffman earlier last year (from 1815), and it wasn't really that bad (after the first hundred pages.) He uses some archaic words (like Frauenzimmer), and some of the grammar is a little different, but you get used to it. Point being: I can handle the minor differences, but I'm not going to learn Old High German. Best of luck to the people who do go down that road, but I don't see myself doing that.
Reading about the conjoint/disjoint distinction in Bantu languages... damn this shit is based. And Any Forumstards say African languages are "primitive."

It has been 953 years since English was made the official language of Scotland in 1067. Thoughts?
I started yesterday. I'm learning it because it sounds cool and I like late antiquity and Roman Britain. I'd like to learn Old Welsh later on and read Latin Arthurian legends. It's also just a comfy language for a comfy place. I like the landscape and the culture of the Celts. The resources I'm using: 1. Glossika which is a paid app, but it's courses for minority languages are free. 2. Duolingo. It does what it does fine enough. Free with adds obvsly 3. Now You're Talking Welsh, which is an really old video series that can be found on youtube. 4. Say Something In Welsh audio only course. The old course is free, the newer version is 10 bucks a month.
The SSIW course is by far the best. It's I guess like a better version of Pismleur or Michel Thomas. I think it's worth paying for the new course.

they just have to embrace their swahili roots, and join their northern neighbor tanzania. The swahili world will be glorious. adhama na umoja, dunia ya kiswahili.
Juan Wright
why did they do it? most people in mozambique aren't ethnically swahili
Owen Sanchez
most people in tanzania and kenya are also not ethnic swahilis, but nonetheless they adapted swahili as the lingua franca.

What would you consider to be the most beautiful language? My pick would be French.
