Macron always talks like he's desperately trying to be taken seriously but isn't convinced of it
>>
>>219565792
If you had to choose between Somali and Arabic which would you pick?
https://youtu.be/8yj53tJEwLs?t=1m3s

Also Arabic isn't always ugly here's a sample of Lebanese Arabic: https://youtu.be/UBBxGHvjNFM

Aesthetic judgements about languages are almost universally proxies for judgements about the people who speak them.
>>
>>219565111
Hot take but I love all languages, they all sound so unique, the only thing I like more about some languages more than other is clarity of speech and clear loud sounds like rolling your r's
>>
>>219570538
When you say tonal languages, do you mean e.g. Swedish or Serbo-Croatian, or do you just mean East/Southeast Asian tonal languages?
>>
>>219565111
mongolian always sounded grim to me, they use the letter H too much so it sounds like the speaker is dehydrated and constantly clearing his throat
>>
>>219572569
I think I caught a few words, like "my dear", "world", or "I love you". Also wow she is so hot, I wish I was that hot.

Turkish sounds like a Dothraki barbaric tongue to me. But only when spoken, it can sound nice in songs
>>
>>219578007
this guy never heard a vietnamese person speak

>>219578615
I think it's neat how Chinese loanwords in Vietnamese preserve a lot of aspects of ancient Chinese pronunciation, such that the Vietnamese reading tradition is actually a pretty good way to read ancient Chinese poetry.
>>
>>219577960
Halo effect applies as with everything but Khoisan languages sound like a demon promising to eat your limbs. Tamil sounds pretty nice to me even though no one likes Indians because it's very soft.

Persia doesn't have the best reputation either but it's one of the prettiest and sexiest languages I've ever heard, especially when spoken by a girl https://youtu.be/FrDluEqNWMU

Nancy ajram is popular for a reason. Also ywnbaw but have more Nancy https://youtu.be/OmvgwMnYOZw

Arabic, no matter the country, sounds like shit.

Also, is there any Levantine women that has not a bogged face?

Korean sounds like senseless babble that someone would say after getting lobotomized.

I haven’t been exposed to many languages, but Greek caught me off guard in a negative way. To me it sounded a bit like Arabic or Spanish, but without the smooth, sensual quality I associate with Spanish. I’ve also heard Haitians speaking French and didn’t find it very pleasant even though French music sounds great to me.
>>
>>219581572
Isn't vernacular Haitian French essentially a separate language?
>>
>>219565111
Literally any language that uses the /x/ phoneme.
>>
>>219567921
They also make like bird calls and stuff mid-sentence. It's unironically awesome.
>>
>>219581609
Idk, I cannot even figure out if they're speaking French or a creole variant, it's completely unintelligible to me
>>
Do people genuinely dislike portuguese? You can’t really have an opinion without hearing it, it sounds nothing like spanish

Somali isn't that bad. Sounds better than Arabic at least.
>>
>>219582304
Brazilian Portuguese also sounds rather different than European Portuguese, which sounds almost Slavic.
>>
Hebrew, and it’s not because i don’t like jews
>>
Amharisch.
>>
>>219565111
african ones for sure
out of more or less civilized nations probably the asian tonals or arabic
>>
>>219580963
In my country South Indian languages like Tamil are mocked for supposedly being funny sounding but I remember listening to this song which has Malyalam parts (a language closely related to Tamil) and realizing that holy shit, South Indian languages can sound beautiful

>European Portuguese, which sounds almost Slavic
actually blew my mind the first time I watched a Portuguese movie, not at all what I was expecting. I think it sounds pretty cool
>>
>>219582414
>>219584850
It's because of the pshhh pshhh jiuhhhh etc sounds
>>
>>219585228
Also some of the vowel reduction, I'd think.
>>
Denmark deserves to be nuked for the sounds they make alone.
>>
>>219585592
Nuhuh.
>>
>>219580963
Persian straight up sounds like Arabic. I can't tell the difference.
