Patricians learn Tuvan
sigh why do we have to have these stupid fucking threads every day. you said it yourself, OP: there's an "overwhelming" fucklot of shit in not English.
my advice? learn Greek and Latin. (but you can make a case for basically any language, which is why your question is dumb af.)
Hungarian
Luxebourgish

swahili has the greatest literature only hipsters would be say otherwise
