Tell me what language I should learn [I Love Languages]

Doesn’t matter how obscure or difficult, i’ll do it.

Polish has some tongue-twisting sounds. The word for bile is "żółć" ["zhuwts']: look ma, no unaccented letters! Google "Chrzaszcz poem".

@Lanyx "Chrzaszcz" looks unpronounceable. How is it pronounced? Please describe the pronunciation using English phonetics and not that International Phonetic Alphabet which has dozens of funny things in it.

@NankerPhelge Let me try: "H-sh-ow-sh-tsh" [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kESldINjcKU]
Arabic and mandarin seem the most challenging
@Gleen if it does happen I don't think we will be alive.

Sanskrit is a good one to take up if you want a challenge.
Khoisan (Xhosa)...

@Mandalorian Khoisan is not Xhosa. These two tribes are over 1000km (600mi) and never had any contact with them. Khoisan is around Upington while Xhosa East London and Bisho.
Khoisan is a very, very, very interesting choice. There are not too many native speakers left. Almost all the sounds are based on clicks.
Xhosa (there is a click in its name when pronounced correctly, as indicated by the "Xh"-sound.)
I have heard in person both languages, when I lived in South Africa unitl 2020. Good luck in finding any material on Khoisan.
@Lanyx Thank you for the clarification...I always welcome the opportunity to learn something new...👍
