Worst-sounding language

[Agathon]

Leave it to the Kiwi to relate languages to sheep-****ing..

I know... Even though Australia is 500 miles away, we can still hear them at it.

But really the worst language is west-flemish.

I can never understand a flippin' word they are saying..

Where you from Trajanus?

I was watching NBC news, and they had some Pakistani guy speaking English, yet they still ran the closed captioning at the bottom of the screen. What's up with that? Yes I know, they tend to do that if the accents are thick and hard to understand. But his wasn't too bad. It just seems funny to run english translation when the guy is speaking english.

It especially sounds great coming from a naked muslim woman

You are playing with fire here, Diss. This may be extremely offensive to muslims. I just remember a 29 y.o. male prisoner of that infamous Baghdad prison saying in an interview that, before those events, he had never seen anyone naked, and no one had ever seen him naked. That must really be something.

, he had never seen anyone naked, and no one had ever seen him naked.

Well, maybe they should do so more often, maybe then they wouldn't be insulted as quickly

what are they going to do? kill me?

how can they not see anyone naked? Do they not have showers there? What about married couples? Surely the guys get to see their wives naked then? What's the point of getting married if you can't see your wife naked?

[Dis]

and don't forget he has been seen naked. when he was born. That must really piss the muslims off

To a native Chinese speaker, English speakers sound like they're barking. It's annoying to Chinese speakers

[Dis]

why do we sound like we are barking?

If I had a sig, this would go right in there.

[Drake Tungsten]

Because Chinese people always have dogs (and how to eat them) on the brain...

Strange, most of the foreigners I've met in China say the same thing about Chinese. They usually cite the monosyllablism and that the tones usually make statements less melodic. I suppose its the difference between the languages and what you've been brought up with.

Yeah, right.

That experience in prison must be regarded as teaching them the Western culture of nakedness by means of a shock therapy.

Don't worry, Diss. They don't know where you live.

Yeah, I find this really strange, especially for a 3rd world country, where the level of privacy should inevitably be lower.

What about married couples? Surely the guys get to see their wives naked then? What's the point of getting married if you can't see your wife naked?

Well, it's perfectly possible to have sex without seeing each other naked.

OK, sorry for this little threadjack. I am back on topic by saying that French is undoubtfully the most beautiful language.
