What's the most uncommon language that you want to learn and why?

We all have a reason to learn a language, usually a good one. I want to learn English because it's almost a universal language, Spanish because it's among the most spoken languages in the world, etc.

But I also want to learn a uncommon language, I don't know, maybe Estonian for example, just for the fun of it. When poeple ask "how many languages do you speak?" I'll tell them "Portuguese, English, Spanish and Estonian." and they'll ask me "Why Estonian?" and I'll tell them "how many people do you know that speaks Estonian?" - I'm not saying I want to learn Estonian but I want to learn an unsual language for a reason like that, for example.

Did you think about doing it? Do you want to learn an incommon language? Why? Which language is it?

Irish, because I'm Irish.

I want to learn Odia. It's an Indian language. It has a beautiful script, is one of the six languages awarded classical status in India and has a long literary history. It didn't borrow many words from other languages and it's not easy to find resources for learning Odia. There's no google translate for Odia, so you can't "cheat" your way through, via copy & paste to the translator.

I don't understand why my comment stirred any polemic at all... I suppose it was due to my poor English skills. Anyway, I want to try to explain my comment as well as I can as not to cause any more trouble: I didn't mean that the question wasn't good, I was just trying to point out how I was going to answer it specifically, myself. So, quoting @ Уенди (ウェンディ)'s comment:

"You ( Thayná Camila) were not only asking what someone would WANT to learn but also what someone MAY want to learn but never get around to. Both of these are implied, and I don't think there is any native or fluent English speaker who didn't understand that."

All I did was trying to establish that I was going to answer meaning 1 ( what someone would WANT to learn but also what someone) rather than meaning 2 (what someone MAY want to learn but never get around to). If I didn't feel that both those meanings are implied in the question... then I think I probably wouldn't have tried to specify/clarify the way I'd take when answering.

I see nothing offensive in Filipe's comment:/ And I confirm that many people around me would often write in the way he wrote for the reason he stated: "Maybe my comment was useless for other people, but I wanted to clarify the meaning I gave to your question,"

It is Russian and German because to prove them wrong who say these two are difficult for a beginner to learn and Arabic for the same reason that @Vera has mentioned.
