I would recommend French simply for its practicality.
Latin she can pick up in post secondary study.

If that's the criterion, you can't do much better than Chinese, if that's an option.
Here, in the US, Spanish.

Yes, learning Latin early on is like learning blocking and tackling before you play football.

If your daughter has a preference, maybe just go with it.

Cool chart, @Copper - I wonder with the inventions of the printing press (and now, interwebs) if the English language will remain a little more stable... although of course the opposite could happen as we're seeing with lazy usage (including me at times), often dropping verbs. For example, my friend might say "we at the game" instead of saying "we ARE at the game". Then again, I started this response with "cool chart" instead of "THAT IS A cool chart".

Yes, of course. It's her choice. She'll likely choose French. Of course, her choice is mainly based on what her best friends are choosing and not much else...

Perhaps not a bad thing for learning a new language … she gets to practice with her friends.
