      This is a back up power to me. The best power is the power to control time however you like.

      You could learn every language ever created with the ability to control time. As you would also live as long as you wanted.

      You also would be able to timelock any object making it unmoving and indestructable.

      You can heal anyone from anything by rolling them back to when they werent injured

      No end to what you can do with controlling time

        Technically, if you stop something in time and space, it would disappear before your very eyes if it was on Earth, as the Earth would keep on going on its orbit around the sun, around the Milky Way Galaxy, etc. and your object would be floating somewhere. Against what reference point would you lock it?

          Depends on what you need it to do (or not do)

      If it was just one language and writing system as a choice, I might say Japanese.

      There are so many different characters in their writing as symbols instead of phonetic sounds, that bookstores in Japan are divided into sections, in which one has books that use… say 500 characters, then another section with books that use 1200 characters, or 5000, or 10,000, or more!
      To read Japanese or Chinese with a mastery of over 10,000 symbols might be my choice. The richness and depth of those writings must be something incredible.

      My second choice, for shits ‘n’ giggles, might be something like Sumerian or Akkadian, in the original Cuneiform!

      I can’t even imagine how powerful I would be if I could be ignored in every language.
