I'd have to say Arabic and Hebrew. Borrow some vowels. Main reason for my dislike of Arabic is Team America. Every time I hear Arabic, it all becomes "derka derka muhammad jihad" to me.

No, that's not what I meant. American English is very much real... I guess I meant that British English is more real in that it is the original English (other than Middle and Old English and such). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I was just messing with you, I knew what you meant ;) But some people like to pass off British English as the real one, and that doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it sounds better, but just because English originates in England that doesn't automatically mean British speakers are more correct. Often the English is just as botched.
While I'm on the subject, I think that American English sounds pretty cool, especially when it is said very lazily and unarticulated. Dija see tha girl? She was liddle but she haddha nice face. Does anybody even pronounce little without changing the Ts to Ds? Sounds very childish to say it with Ts. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Good, I thought I had really offended you. Phew. Anyways, I do agree that it is QUITE unnatural (for the American dialect, at least) to pronounced 'little' as it's written. 'Liddle' is more like. The same with 'not.' The 't' in that when I say it is very rarely a 't' sound, but a soft sort of glottal stop or a 'd' sound... Odd. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah it's like the tongue raises to make the T sound and it just can't be bothered the go all the way. I think I actually pronounce it like a TH. It's notha only one. Edited by Aeroflot on 14 August 2009 at 2:30am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This thread looks like it could potentially de-rail into a flamewar of epic proportions. Please don't. :)
Dutch, when I was younger (oh yes I'm so old now) I disliked the language a lot but recently that has transformed more into some sort of fascination of it all. It's so completely different from any other language I'm used to. I want to learn it one day. I'm having difficulties thinking of a language I dislike right now. I think I'll have to conclude that there are none I hate, but I do not like the sound of Mandarin right now. I assume it'll end up like Dutch though, with fascination. ;) We'll see in a couple of years. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No offense! Listening to Vietnamese conversation always makes me feel short of breath.
