Pidesco Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 As for beautiful languages I like Swedish and Norwegian as I find them very musical. I also like the Italian and english with a scottish accent is awesome. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Moose Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Polish is damn annoying. It sounds exactly like Russian and when I hear it, some familiar patterns are instantly triggerred in my brain, but I can't comprehend a word of what is said.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Polish is more feminine and smooth. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts

Dark_Raven Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Gaelic Latin German I like those languages and would like to learn them. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Jorian Drake Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Gaelic Latin German I like those languages and would like to learn them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can teach you German....and a lil' bit of Latin too
bandua Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Spanish is the most beautiful in my opinion, and curiously Spanish is related (so I understand) to Arabic. Go figure . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where the heck did you take that from? Spanish is in no way related to Arabic. It's essentially modern latin, so to speak. Just like Italian, French, Portuguese, Galician, Catalonian and so on.
Diamond Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Polish is waaaaaay away from russian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I meant the way it sounds. I always hear English now, but when I hear Polish I subconsciously think that I must understand it, but I don't. PS Russian is still closer to Polish than English or German. I can even read in Polish a bit even though I've never learnt it. Edited February 16, 2006 by Diamond

Judge Hades Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I have taken year in Latin. It is a fun language for the most part. Tried to learn German but it didn't mesh to well, but Old English was kickarse. I would have to say the worse sounding language I have dealt with is Hebrew. One of my gamers in my group speaks a lil' Hebrew and it sounds like he is coughing up a lung each time.
taks Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 rumor has it that english is one of the hardest languages to learn. the grammar rules have too many exceptions, which fails logic.... whether or not that correlates to sounding nice or not is beyond me given that it is my native language. i personally dig germanic languages and, at one point, could read and write german rather well (spoke it so-so). nothing hotter than some chick with a thick german accent and tight bu... er, never mind. my son is learning spanish, which should be good for living in colorado. taks comrade taks... just because.
taks Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 oh, as for worst sounding languages... dunno. i'd have to think about it. slavic languages, though similar in sound to harsh germanics, seem awkward at times... hard to say if it is a "bad" sound, however. taks comrade taks... just because.
Jorian Drake Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 rumor has it that english is one of the hardest languages to learn. the grammar rules have too many exceptions, which fails logic.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No rumor. True
astr0creep Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 rumor has it that english is one of the hardest languages to learn. the grammar rules have too many exceptions, which fails logic.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No rumor. True <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm French(Canadian) by birth. By 5 I was bilingual French/English. Never seemed hard to me. It's not really the language, I love english but that southern accent in the US... Makes me want to shoot someone. You know those accents from Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, South Carolina. Eeww. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Judge Hades Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 In the US they need to start teaching foreign languages at the kindergarten/grade school levels. It would be easier for one to pick a new language up when they are young. Spansih, Chinese, German, and Japanesse should be mandatory.
LordKira Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 This probably the wrong place to say this, but I think Finnish is completely mad. Vowels everywhere! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mit

mkreku Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Since some people actually don't believe me (the nerve!) when I say that finnish is, by far, the ugliest language, I'm going to provide a little treat for you. Not only will you be able to hear the finnish language in all its glory, you will also be able to observe the latest finnish fashion and you might even learn to dance finnish disco! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8289010344419725140 Watch and learn!

In addition to this there is a letter that can't really be pronounced by non-arabs.
