*** Baker's Dozen - Movies where people have conversations in dead or invented languages *** (CLOSED)


It's not required to happen during the whole movie, but at least there should be a few lines in a conversation between a couple of characters.

Please, if possible, add the language they used.

1. The Passion of the Christ (2004) - Aramaic

NOTE. Apocalypto from Mel Gibson was going to be the opening movie, but I checked the wiki and the language in the movie, Yucatec Mayan, is not dead (which I didn't know). It's spoken by about a million people.

J.K. Rowling supposedly has a guide for it and has taught some people how to really speak it.
