| Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they? |

 Learning a language for the literature
What language would be best for reading old books the way they were written? I'm kind of leaning towards Icelandic maybe, but suggestions would be wondaful.

Re: Learning a language for the literature
When you say old books, I'm assuming you mean ancient or at least very old books. You have to keep in mind that the language back then was different from today. Also, I don't know why you would learn an ancient language to read ancient books for entertainment when there are books which are far more interesting today.
