If you’re a polyglot who learns languages for fun, you might choose languages from a particular family or region, or languages that have contributed to your mother tongue.

Another possible polyglot pathway that I came up with the other day is especially for dog lovers: learning languages from regions associated with breeds of dog. For example, if you have an Alsatian, you could learn the Alsatian (\u00cbls\u00e4ssisch)<\/a> and speak to your dog in that tongue. Or if you have a Bernese mountain dog you could learn B\u00e9arnese<\/a>, and chihuahua owners could learn one or more of the languages of Chihuahua state in Mexico, where their dogs originate.
