Well, I just like the Romance langs. Also, the only languages other than English that I have had any instruction in are Spanish, and Tagalog (which inspired Saalangal). I have maybe a years worth of German in middle school, but i've forgotten just about everything about it. Also, while the Germanic langs are interesting, theyre just not my bag ;). Maybe if I read more on their histories, it may spark that conlanging fire. Who knows? :) (I didnt think i'd ever tackle a romance lang several months ago, so, if I can be sparked to work on a Romance Lang, then perhaps i can be sparked to start on a Germanic lang)
