nice thread


Not like your response added anything at all to it...

While it's obviously entirely subjective, I personally like the sound of Russian over Arabic. I'm not crazy about the guttural sounds of the latter, and I like the soft vowels in Russian.

Personally, I like both of them. I like the guttural sounds from Arabic and the combination of the vowels and consonants in Russian.

Are you trying to replace aYa / atamagii, or am I missing something here?
