Loosely inspired by how much people seemed to enjoy a similar question I asked on Games about unappreciated titles. But answers don't have to be media related (they still can be though).

Lithuanian is the closest living language to Proto-Indo-European, and has a lot of cognates with Sanskrit.

Baltic languages are awesome. I only wish I could master those case systems!
