Italian has a wonderful sound to it, thanks to the many vowels at the end of words.

That made it the ideal language for opera songs.

But all romance languages are beautiful.

Romanian without a doubt, because of the unique-sounding combination of Romance and Slavic. Made all the more beautiful by the fact that I can't understand it yet!

Romanian!

It sounds way more awesome than French or Italian and I have listened to so much Spanish that it has become mundane and ordinary.

Brazilian Portuguese also sounds pretty nice.

My favorites in descending order:

1. Italian
2. Portuguese (but only the Brazilian one!)
3. Spanish
4. French

I left out Romanian because it's my native and I can't be objective here ;)

I voted for Spanish (it's my first love!), but Romanian comes in a close second. I'm surprised Italian has so many votes--I think it sounds kind of harsh with its rhythm. And don't worry about not including Catalan. As much as I love the language, I don't think I've ever heard somebody call it "beautiful"!

Romanian, definitely! I really dislike the sound of all the other Romance languages (except for perhaps Portuguese), but Romanian is lovely. It's definitely on my language hit list :)

I chose Portuguese, because I simply love it, though Romanian isn't less beautiful.

Don't worry about Catalan, it's my beloved mother tongue, but I don't think it sounds beautiful at all, and I wouldn't like to see it down on the list!

I chose French, but every language is beautiful -it just depends on who is speaking
it.
