I know that Welsh is kind of a dead language, but I like it and many of the other Gaelic languages. I also like Inuktitut and Afrikaans (dunno if that's a dead language).
Here are some examples of the dead languages that I've mentioned:
Welsh: Helpa fi! Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod!
Inuktitut: Kinnauvit? (ᑭᓇᐅᕕᑦ? ) (I love their written letters)
Afrikaans: Haai, sal jy met my dans, asseblief?

Welsh isn't dead, a fair number of people still speak it as their first language, and there seems to be a push for more people to speak Welsh in Wales. I recently visited Wales, and at a restaurant, I overheard two waiters speaking to each other in Welsh.

Afrikaans is very much alive. It's a big language in Namibia and South Africa, and it's extremely close to Dutch.
I am kind of interested in Irish Gaelic, but less so in dead languages. I prefer to speak languages :\
But I did take 3 years of Latin in high school

Inuktitut is also alive. It's widely spoken in northern Canada and Alaska, but most Inuits also speak English and/or French.

I'm welsh and proud of it, but I always found the language too hard to learn. I really want to learn it, but have ended up learning Esperanto instead.. might be more useful in the wider world. haha
