I like so many languages, it's as listening to different songs. Even
the sole fact of being exposed to a language I haven't heard before
pleases and awes me. I think that in time new languages will get into
my toplist, but right now, the ones that I love more in no
particular order are

Japanese, Spanish and Italian.

I'm not sure, but it seems they share something in the sound, a
sound I appear to like, hahah.

The most beautiful language I've ever heard is probably Arabic. I love it when sung.

I guess I'm in the minority, I absolutely adore the sound of Dutch. Yes, even the "g" sound.

I don't think German is beautiful, but I'm just in love with how it sounds.

I don't understand those who say that German is harsh-sounding. It sounds solemn and beautiful to me, just because of the 'ts' 'sch' 'ch' 'tsch' sounds.

French can sound absolutely ugly once a speaker talks loudly. It's just like... if visualised, a bucket of mirky foamy water being jerked out continuously.

Im native Spanish speaker, and i find that Spanish have nothing special... no "'" or rare thing and it sounds how its writed, everything is so common when i read a text in Spanish, so i like languages that have someting extrange like French or German (i just love German). But, what i like of Spanish, specily the Spanish of Buenos Aires, Argetina, is the use of "vos" instead of "tu", it makes it more friendly and faster and ... i never use "tu"... maybe 5% of the time (for possesive).
I dont know how other languages exactly sound, but polish writing looks interesting.

Hello.. giving my two cents about my mother language:

I'm Colombian, so this is coming from a Colombian Spanish point of view. Colombian is just like Mexican, very clear and fast. I'd just like to point out something about the "ella" discussion. It is considered very sophisticated where I'm from to say "ell-yah" because for some reason it shows class. I actually like it, but it does take "more time" to do it than any other way. The most common, if not the way that it's supposed to be said, would be "ella," with the "ll" making the sound like the "j" in "jar." If anyone says it "eh-yah," well, the native will know straight away that Spanish is not your mother language. :)

I like Colombian Spanish. It does have many of the qualities of Mexican Spanish (the variant I'm familiar with, so the most "clear" to me). I hadn't really noticed the "ly" sound until I heard a girl speak that way a few days ago. I was a little confused at first because I thought that was found only in some regions of Spain.

Oh and the Colombian way of addressing people (familiar) is puzzling. "tĂș", "usted", "vos"!? Ahhh! Make up your mind!

I really like spoken Japanese (male or female) but like the sound of the language even more when it is sung.

Filipino (Tagalog) in songs isn't too bad either, but when spoken I don't think it is exceptional.

In no particular order I'd have to go for:

1) Hindi/Urdu

2) Tibetan/Ladakhi

3) Turkish
