Which language is the most pleasant?

Whether it's your language of choice or something you think is just beautiful even if you don't understand a word...

William Haskins · Mar 10, 2007

personally, i find latin the most beautiful, but that wasn't an option. so i went with french, also quite beautiful.

french, italian, farsi, syrian arabic, and swahili.

I'm choosing one that isn't on the list either! Russian. Beautiful language and accent!

I like Spanish best out of the ones on the list. Tagalog is also quite pretty.

I went with French. It reminds me of dripping chocolate.

That was my choice too! I love Russian. In fact, I need to brush up on my Russian...I can still read it, but can't speak it to save my life.

La langue Francaise... Elle est très jolie

I just love English, and not by default. As we've pirated words from any and all, it can be melodic or harsh as the mood or meaning dictates.

I also love to hear English sifted through the accent of a non-native English speaker.

If I only understand one.....how can I tell? Gibberish is just gibberish, when you can't understand it.

I agree.

p.s. Russian is nice, too.

French- used conversationally, Japanese when sung. Pretty indeed.

Most English-speaking people don't notice it, but our language kind of sounds icky. Really icky. Like we're choking on something, saying "sandwich" all the time, or trying to blow our nose without using our hands.

I like Czech language.

"Today we will learn three new words in Turkish:

Towel.

Bath.

Taffy."

I like hearing Turkish spoken. Its rhythms and sounds are similar enough to English that my ear strains to make it out. Play a tape of English being spoken backward, and it could pass for Turkish (unless you happen to speak Turkish, of course).

So I voted for Orlando Bloom.

I chose Italian, 'cause it's the closest. And it sounds hawt.

Why is Orlando Bloom on this? How come no one ever mentions the festering sores he has reputedly growing around his netherregions, the ruggedly pimpled back, those hairless amphibious legs, the fact that he has to take testoterone to keep his breasts from growing back?

These things I wonder.

Au français. Understand the words or not, it's so musical.

MajorDrums · Mar 10, 2007

Xhosa. Okay, I just listen for the clicking.

billythrilly7th · Mar 10, 2007

Italian.

Beautiful.

English can't win because it's English and we all speak it. You'd have to poll non-speakers of English on how it sounds.

French is awful. Just awful awful sounding language IMO. "Vouzeouieiei von cheyyyuyyccoughhhhchoke."

Ugh.

Italiano is a beautiful.

Vous n'avez jamais eu un chuchotement français de femme dans des vos oreilles.

Yes, I have and I whispered back..."Je ne m'inquiète pas ce que vous dites en ce moment, parce que vous ne nous avez pas laissés utiliser votre dos de cubage en 1985, ayez ainsi une bonne nuit."

Shwebb · Mar 10, 2007

Russian sounds neat--like listening to English being spoken backwards is how it sounds to me.

Love Spanish--sounds very melodic. And Italian.

I heard Arabic spoken by a very lovely young lady who was reciting the Quoran. Beautiful.

Don't like French, so much. Sounds rather slippery to my hillbilly ears.

Sounds like someone needs a hug.
