I'm thinking I should learn an ancient language
Latin seems fun but it's too basic b-word to learn (at least as my first ancient language) and I already had to do some grammar classes on highschool so it's also too easy
I'm thinking maybe ancient hebrew is the least studies out of the big 3 of Latin Greek and Hebrew
But what are the other options/what will make me stand out the most as the cool esoteric intellectual I am

I think aramaic. Taleb has a note about it and it made me think that bragging about knowing aramaic has to be the snobbiest thing imaginable.

Taleb seething every time someone calls the Lebanese dialect "Arabic" is hilarious, he's aggressively anti-arabic.
The aramaic he studies is "syriac" which is still spoken by some minorities in the Levant region.

They used to speak it in the mountains above Tripoli, Lebanon but it died out about a century ago. As far as I know it's down to just one town in Syria now.
