Tried, but will give it another go. Thought I could save time by coming here first.

do you mean current or historically?

esperanto?

ZombieKitten said:

You know, I never really thought about that. Probably historically. Although if you can supply two -both current and historic- it would be very helpful.

Klingon probably counts as well then, I would say, and Elvish

Does it have to be a real language real people actually use?

rap said:

can it be written in any alphabet?

ZombieKitten said:

didn't real people used to speak esperanto?

I saw it on Red Dwarf when Rimmer was learning it

It's a made up language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto
They made it up in the late 19th century.

ZombieKitten said:

but originally it was not a fictional language. it was created with the intent of people actually speaking it, right? it was kind of like the crystal pepsi of languages.

Anxiety said:

oh not fictional, that's right, but made up from scratch, based on other languages.

apparently up to 2 million are fluent!

ZombieKitten said:

i worked at a community center in NYC that had an esperanto club that met twice a month. i bet it still does, and it's probably the same five people.

Anxiety said:

well 2 million who can write is (I'm assuming) doesn't sound so obscure any more

hey!

I reckon it would be easy to learn!
I wonder if I say fisho, it would be fish in esperanto!

Somebody asked this on Wiki and just got one response, but it's an interesting one.

What is the most obscure language?
In the old world, possibly it's the Ket language spoken in Central Siberia. It's a moribund language of the Yeniseian family, and the sole survivor of this family, which might possibly represent the oldest remaining language stock in siberia (other languages have, possibly, over time edged out Yeniseian, which used to be spoken over quite a wide area). It's completely unrelated to any other language around it, exhibits complex verbal morphology, and theories exist linking it in the very distant past to Native American languages (the Na-Dene family) and Chinese. A few hundred people speak it now, so there are probably other languages around that are more "obscure", depending on how you define the word, but Ket is definitely special.
