Agreed. Concultures put everything in context, in a sort of reverse
Sapir-Whorf process. I'd also like to learn a naturalistic language, and am
consequently not too fond of auxlangs or engelangs.

Opinion: a language with a very unusual morphosyntactic alignment, verb
system etc. might be challenging enough to sustain interest without the
difficulties with romanisation, transliteration etc. that languages with
large phonological inventories have. Since we'll mostly be writing, not
speaking anyway.
