Ukrainian is simply the most beautiful language in the world.

I'm surprised I could read transliterated Ukrainian, despite having never studied it.

Well, actually, your translation was a bit off - "najkrashcha" means "the best", not "the most beautiful", though if I only knew Russian and not Ukrainian, I would guess the same way you did.

I'm a native Polish speaker. To me Czech sounds kind of cute - like Polish spoken by a small child. The sounds seem softer and easier to pronounce. This is just my impression as I don't speak Czech. Polish has hushing sounds and hard consonant clusters, so I'd say it's quite rough in comparison.

That's funny, that's what I thought of Polish the first time I'd heard it, after living in Prague for some time. I love the melody of Czech. I miss it. I stopped speaking it since moving back home years and years ago.

Polish is beautiful, too. I have no idea why these two languages appeal to me so much, but I think it's because I've had such wonderful visits to their respective homelands.

I like the sound of Russian the best. It just seems to flow smoothly from the mouth, it that makes sense.

Is Russian internationally recognized to be the most beautiful sounding among Slavic languages?

I like Serbocroatian and Russian the most. I also like the sound of my native Slovene.

Having native fluency in Russian makes it impossible for me to judge the way it sounds, but I think Croatian and
Czech both sound much cleaner. Ukrainian is softer and should be somewhat easier to pronounce.

I guess it is just that Russian is better studied because of political power USSR once held :)
