All right, GoshDiggityDangit, your turn to choose a language!

I think part of the reason we don't have too many players is that most people have chosen very obscure languages ... I haven't even heard of most of the past ones. Not sure what sort of language would fit the balance between too recognizable and too obscure; maybe something like Shona, or Persian, or Classical Nahuatl? Or maybe I'm just not too familiar with languages worldwide

[GoshDiggityDangit]

Using an obscure language is half the fun! I had a great time looking through Wikipedia, reading about languages I never would've otherwise. But I see what you mean; It's definitely a layer of difficulty that might be unappealing to some. I will go ahead and use a language that is, in my opinion, somewhere in the middle. Not too obscure, but it's not Turkish or German or something like that.
