If I had more free time I just might try Quechua, too. Magyar has no interest to me whatsoever - it's in the category of languages that I consider "completely devoid of interest" for me. That list includes Japanese, pretty much all the modern languages of India and Southeast Asia (i.e., I'm intrigued by Sanskrit), Magyar, Finnish, really all the Nordic languages, most of the Bantu languages (other than Swahili), Japanese and Korean.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
