Hmm...that's a tough one.

In terms of what I'd say I'm interested in, I love the Finno-Ugric languages because they're so unique. I'm also somewhat interested in agglutinative languages in general (i.e. Japanese)...but then again that's not a "language family." :'D

In terms of my own trends, I guess it's Germanic languages, but even I don't really know why (haha), only that I like the sound of German, I'm interested in Norwegian/Swedish/Danish, and I love my native language (of course!). I'm also somewhat curious about Icelandic and Dutch. This is the only language family that I actually want to learn more than one language from (with other families, I'd like to learn about one or at most two languages.)

A few other families interest me because I don't know much about them--Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, Semitic, Indo-Aryan (?), though I doubt I'd ever get around to learning all of them. (I know for certain I'd try my hand at Russian, at least, because Russia is such a huge country with a rich culture and literary tradition.)

Oh, I just realized--why not Romance? I sort of like French (I'd have to, after spending 7 years learning it), and I'm vaguely curious about the less famous Romance languages such as Catalan and Romanian, but I think it's because Romance languages are so famous and I tend to have a rebellious complex in response to popular things. (Can't really help it :'D)
