Japanese >>> French, Portuguese >> Spanish, Persian > English, Arabic >>> German, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Korean, Mandarin, CantoneseHaven't listened to enough music in other languages to judge

Japanese is an entire language constructed of sounds like la and ba that english speakers love to use in singing. I'm not aware of another language with a similar structure of almost exclusively hard consonant followed by vowel

>>129105271toki pona is basically knockoff japanese pronounciation wise
>>129107097Out of these only italian kind of does that.
>>129105271>how pleasant it sounds when sung?Italian, maybe portuguese. Spanish and french are just awful and the idea of them sounding pleasant is a giant meme.
