Italian in southern Switzerland. Big enough so you can grow up listening and speaking it 100% of the time with little and no exposure to german/french, not big enough for newspaper/magazine distribution network to care about it (I'm pretty sure some fashon and general culture magazines were imported from italy, but not the Amazing Computing magazine...)

(Yes, I could have gone a few dozen kilometers cross the border to Italy to buy some, but I was a kid and my parents didn't indulge me further with this "toy")
