Re: Obscure languages

If you want, I can help you with learning Votian
(Uralic/Finno-Ugric/Balto-Finnic; spoken by approx. 25 people in 5
villages [incl. Krakolye and Luzhitsy] in Leningrad Oblast, north of
Ivangorod in Russia), youngest speaker is in his early 60s). Obviously I'm
not a native speaker, but my knowledge of it is thorough enough that I
could carry on a conversation with a Vote in the unlikely event that I
were to meet one. However, I do use it occasionally in speaking with
Estonians, sometimes with amusing results.
