I think the most beautiful language I've been exposed to to some degree would have to be either Japanese or Korean (tough call).
I often find that some languages sound quite nice for short periods of time, but hearing them for extended periods, they start to sound almost irritating. Examples of this would be Mandarin, German and Italian. I'm not sure why exactly. In the case of Mandarin, I think its tonal quality makes it sound very nice, but then it's the very same tones which later drive me crazy! (No offense to any speakers of these languages.) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Contrary to most people here, I absolutely hate the sound of French. It sounds so nagging, it hurts my ears. However, I found out a while ago it will be very important for me to learn French, cos I wanna study to become a diplomat ^^.
I do like the sound of Italian and Spanish. Italian has much more life in it than nagging French. I like the Spanish spoken in Latin America, not that lisping European Spanish. I find English nice to hear, probably bevause im so accustomed to it, but I dont like the English spoken in England. Scottish and Irish sound great. I like Mandarin a lot - cos its the main language that im learning. German depends on who is speaking it. I dont like it when its pronounced by the typical fat drinking-beer-and-eating-sausage German, for example. I think Russian sounds sort of tough and stout, pretty cool. Arabic always fascinated me with its weird gutteral sounds. I think Thai sounds really lame and boring, kind of sleepy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

'Lisping' European Spanish? I guess the Spanish up in Madrid are guilty of the 'th' sounds but Andalucian Spanish is free from it. Then again, we tend to leave out every other syllable so... :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have to be a little different and say German is the most beautiful. To my ears, it doesn't sound harsh at all except for the ch sound you get in words like "acht" and most Germans I have heard tone it down a little so it doesn't sound like someone clearing their throat. Then there is my favourite sound out of all the languages I have learned, the รถ sound. Also, Germans do not speak at 10,000 words a second like the Spanish or French do so you can appreciate the sounds
Japanese sounds very good when spoken by a high pitched female unfortunatly, I am quite a low pitched male. I'm not a huge fan of the romance languages. Italian is nice, French I am indifferent to and I don't like Spanish. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
