If Japanese wasn't the original language of anime, which language would you like it to use? (Anime would still be made in Japan, the only thing that changes is the language)
You can't choose the same language as your native one, English or a language that is mutually intelligible to English and-or your native language.

What I was trying to say is languages that share a small ammount of words, not languages that share no cognates whatsoever. If an English speaker tried to understand Icelandic they wouldn't understand anything at all.

Came to post this. Now all anime would sound like a cool chant, which is better than spic (only other language allowed by op) I guess. It's also somewhat of a neutral choice. Either that or

That "language" is not possible to choose since it shares a massive ammount of words with English.

If American animation had an 80s japan adult oriented anime ova decade, and the hypothetical phase started with the animation movie fire and ice, we'd probably have japanese anime airing in English with the jap anime mouths moving according to english words, and we'll have less school setting anime and more tetsuo ironman or no longer human anime adaptation.
Everything good and bad about Japanese anime today can always be traced back to American entertainment media starting around 1970s to be honest.
I wish US would go back to making cartoon movies like Fire and Ice

They borrow words from many languages, but that doesn't mean it's instantly recognizable by English without some study, I'd think.
French or Latin as everyone else mentioned, everything else is either a poverty language or ear grating Germanic/Slavic shit

I have no clue how good they are at voice acting but it would give anime a hint of classical european tales. That could be really cool to hear in an anime.
It's far away enough from every language I know to fit the criteria too.

masterpiece I gotta go find the full version. I also need to read this damn hentai already. I heard the ending's really sweet.
