Which language should I study?

Question

I am planning on majoring in anthropology and going on for my masters. I want to specialize in anthropology of religion (part of cultural anthropology) and Nepal and the British Isles. Which language would be best to learn?

Answer 1

klingon

Answer 2

Spanish or Arabic

Answer 3

For religion, I would go with arabic. Those countries which speak that language have very intense religions and you would get a job in a snap! Another language which would be awesome to learn is Thai. Thailand runs on buddhism, and seriously, if you haven't been there, it's AMAZING and you would have even more of a reason to go!

Answer 4

Nepalese and Hindi...

Nepal is a Buddhist country. Buddhism was first transcribed into ancient Hindi (ca.1st Century BCE). If you visit Nepal, it would help knowing Nepalese. The people there are quite friendly, and will open up to you, and tell you many stories...

With a crash-course, you can be fluent in Nepalese, in 3 months...

Answer 5

Spanish and Gurka (Nepal).
