Sort of a fun fact... JRR Tolkien supposedly leaned pretty heavily on Finnish to construct his Elvin language for Lord of the Rings.

Also, your query made me stumble on to the omniglot dot com website. Here's the entry for both Finnish & Welsh, with a little info on numbers of users, how the language might differ in writing vs speaking, as well as additional resources at the bottom of each page. I'll link them here in case they have any use to you.

Finnish

Welsh

While native speakers for both are rare, what sounds more "cool" to learn?



Doesn't Welsh have really long place names?

Out of those two Finnish, but I don't think either would be a great use of your time.
