I assign intriguing small languages. I was studying Swedish yesterday and came across some words in the language of the sámi people (the indigenous people of Lapland, in case someone doesn't know) and it was just very intriguing, it has a distinct sound and power (I love a certain sámi language singer, Mari Boine Persen, her songs demonstrate this power vey well) and besides I realised I can pronounce it correctly even though it's supposed to be difficult (at least for Swedes ). Also, for example the so-called "click-languages" of small African tribes are very fascinating, I'd love to learn one of them (I just love those click-sounds, they sound so cool ).
