I like quite a few stigmatized languages, I think they aren't given a chance because of stereotypes but actually sound quite beautiful if appreciated neutrally:
German, Assyrian, Mizrachi Hebrew, Arabic (classical, Egyptian, and Levantine), Russian. My top of the list have to be Japanese and Portuguese. I made an effort to try to appreciate Mandarin, but it has a terse and repetitive quality that I can't get over. I like Shanghainese more. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like the sound of many languages, but my favourites must be Turkish and Persian. When I first heard Persian, I couldn't help asking the person speaking what language that was because it sounded so beautiful.

I love the Austrian German accent. Maybe I'm biased but French just doesn't 'click' with me as being beautiful. Too many nasal vowels.

I think the most beautiful languages are Russian and Romanian, French and Mandarin, i also think German can be a nice language at times.

I honestly believe mandarin is the most beautiful sounding language out
there. OTOH, I think korean just sounds so... ugly and "eul"-ish if that makes sense. Which is of course, ironic since the girls that speak it are usually the most consistently beautiful. I remember listening to Lao and really liking it aesthetically. Japanese sounds pretty mystical as well. -edited to add fusha arabic in the mystical category as well.- Edited by solidsnake on 06 January 2007 at 8:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Mandarin is a very beautiful language to me if it's spoken properly either by a boy or a girl, though I think Taiwanese girls make it the most beautiful among the many.
