Maybe you're thinking of Scottish Gaelic vs. Irish Gaelic, which the Irish never spoke. Irish has been on the rebound for some time, is fully modernized and no longer in danger of dying. (Scottish) Gaelic isn't in as good shape but it's hanging on and being encouraged and protected by law.

Icelandic isn't so rare or endangered. You should learn and revive an extinct language like Siuslaw or Esselen
