I think all languages I know of/have heard are beautiful, especially when spoken in a way that fits well with them. Like for example, I think Korean sounds really stylish, quirky and interesting when spoken by the general population (know lots of Koreans where I live and watch lots of Korean media). But with some people, the way they speak Korean is absolutely wonderful, and in this way Korean really shines. I especially like when a speaker really enunciates the consonant clusters and says syllable after syllable very quickly.

For me, I think the language with the most "beautiful" sound is French... especially when
listening to it in music (such as Edith Piaf) or in films. However, I also think that a lot of languages also have a nice "sound" to them, so I possibly could say that I'm undecided? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I can't speak of English objectively since it is my native language.
But, to my ears, carioca spoken Portuguese is the most beautiful, and this probably has to do with my love of bossa nova music which often has Portuguese lyrics. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think the voice quality, timbre and colouring of the individual speakers voice affect my perception of beauty far more than any intrinsic qualities of a language.

Baiano Portuguese, as used in axé music.

I like the logic of word formation in Arabic. It is simply wonderful.
So I would say: Arabic hands down. :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
