Haha thanks alot for the tips. I WAS going to look into latin, only, would it not be easier to just look at the languages themselves? About two generations ago in England latin was taught in schools as a means by which to 'better understand' modern European languages, but those kids, now as adults, claim for it to have been a complete waste of time...so...yeah...but saying that, I am interested in learning Latin (despite hurr morti etc) and it may well prove useful, as you say. And given that you seem to know quite a few languages I'll go with your advice thanks.
By the way, I do reccomend looking in to eastern languages, if not just because of how different they are to anything more European. Considering sentence structure, grammar and writing systems, they're quite fascinating, but, each to his own. However, whilst deciding which languages to learn I have been very conscious of maintaining a good variety, widespread, so to speak. In no way criticising you, because you seem to be very accomplished in learning and understanding languages, but are there languages you've learned that aren't so european?
PS Are there any good sources you can reccomend for learning Latin?
