Probably because there are so many letters that are left out! |

Like Danish! It always sounds like they're talking with a smørrebrod in their mouth!

I think Italian is the most beautiful and musical language. But I also like the way Hebrew sounds, even though I don't understand a word of it. It sounds sooo mystical with its "ch", "h" and "v" sounds.. Spanish is also on my "beautiful spoken languages list". I just can't resist the sounds of Italian and Spanish "c", "p" and "t".

I love the sound of the Nordic/Scandinavian languages, with the possible exception of Danish.
German can sound pretty regal at times as well.

Serbian is music to me. Slavic songs and Russian singing by Origa. Thai in Anna and the King. Irish sung by Enya. Irish itself is lovely. Tagalog sung by Nikki Gil. Indonesian is soft in some voices. French near Italy, Salentino and Salento.

Ivelle your knowledge of italian dialects maybe it's not very accurate. The only italian dialects near France is piedmontese , the patois of Val d'Aosta is more a French dialect spoken in Italy. Corsican is a kind of an old Middle Age italian, every italian can understand it , and is not a dialect . Dialects near Greece are very differnt from each other , Salento, Bari, Foggia etc are completeely different . Salento is similar to sicilian. Maybe you mean not the dialects but the accent, the regional way to speak italian...
