Eastern & germanic languages

For my conlang, i'd like to incorporate some grammatical features of
Eastern languages.  particularly Asian languages.  I have researched
slavic languages, like russian.  i find russian to be a lot like
greek. i already have a working knowledge of basic ancient greek and
latin, so i was wondering if anyone could suggest any books that
might help me expand my knowledge of different types of languages.  i
would greatly appreciate any help.  I have a little knowledge on
mandarin chinese, but it is only barely worthy of being called basic
knowledge. Please include some resources for germanic languages as well.
thank you very much.
