I'm also learning Russian at the moment if it helps to calm your retardation.

There are a lot of languages with a big lack of documentation that could help finally translating them, like it was the case with the Rosetta Stone. Even in Europe there are a shitload of languages we don't even know what they are about or to which family they really belong, like Tartessian or Lusitanian.

What language is that in pic related? The internation phonetic alphabet makes it look like it's french but the words are spelled in an interesting way

No, I just happened to grow up in a region with a lot of national languages while also being a second generation immigrant. I'm interested in linguistics, that's all.

It's Walloon. Actually the pronounciation is very different from standard French, even if many related words clearly sound similar.

Also the words are pronounced very differently according to where you are. taxhea is pronounced like it would be if you agreed to have a norm, but otherwise it can sound like tashya, thashè, or even tahè.

Do younger people still learn it a lot?

>Walloon sch can be pronounced as sk, sh, tch or h
