I enjoy the sound of Greek above all other languages. Although I never plan to study them, I really enjoy the sound of Georgian and Tamil, and I would also rank them high on the list of most attractive scripts, along with Greek.

English is certainly not, because pronounce of English is so unclear than Japanese or Chinese.

What do you mean by unclear? English is far more phonetic than Japanese or Chinese. I thought this thread was suppose to be about languages you like...

The pronunciation of English really is quite unclear: there are a fair number of sounds, some fairly close together, which vary hugely with regional accent. A New Zealander I know pronounces "beer" and "bear" identically, and reports not being understood by some Americans. Japanese pronunciation, on the other hand, is fairly clear and simple in theory: there are only open syllables plus a possible terminal 'n', no consonant clusters, etc. Japanese and Chinese aren't phonetic, but that's a consequence of the writing systems used, not the sounds of the language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I find the sound of Hungarian pleasant. I don't understand any of it.

Marc Frisch,
It was a joke. I thought it was clear with the mention of tequila and girls. Vilas, Hindi and Punjabi for begging. Really? I have yet to see an Indian/brown begger in North America in my 26+ years of being here. Edited by xtremelingo on 05 November 2007 at 6:27am 1 person has voted this message useful |
