To clarify all of this: Like is being commonly used as a filler word instead of the verb it is. Filler words are words that contain/hold no grammatical purpose in a sentence, except in the case of "like" where it sometimes has adverbial (describing a verb) characteristics.

Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. Don't get me wrong, they are all very cool languages but they can get extremely annoying when spoken by a group of women playing mahjong...

Since I am a young person, I run across people who have replaced nearly every word with "like". However, I find it is quite useful when it means "such as" or when you use it mean you are paraphrasing something like "...and she was like 'you'll have to go to the department of Native American studies'." *an excerpt from a real conversation I had online* It doesn't mean that is what she actually said, but rather it is just a shortened version of her actual statement. Anyway, to the actual point of the thread, I have a hard time saying any language is ugly, although a few sound sharp and unappealing to me. Arabic comes to mind, but I definitely don't think it is ugly. I used to think that Turkish was an ugly language, but I've recently fallen in love with it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I've never really liked Klingon.
Also I'm not too keen on computer languages (No offense to any computer). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||
