    Somali is really cool.

    Danish is awful - like portugese but without the drive. Lazy porridge-mouthed madness.

            Thai is ok, depending on who speaks it.
            Zuid-afrikaans is fun
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

              Chinese is the most beautiful language.

              Nothing beats Sun Tzu's advice on war strategy in Chinese.
              Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers; arise ye prisoners of want
              The reason for revolt now thunders; and at last ends the age of "can't"
              Away with all your superstitions -servile masses, arise, arise!
              We'll change forthwith the old conditions And spurn the dust to win the prize

                I like the sound of Japanese people talking, even when they're men!

                  While Chinese poetry is very much an exception, casual conversation doesn't have the same concern for tone placement (word choice). Having tones in a language doesn't necessarily make it musical.
                  Having tones means natural conversations have peaks and valleys that flow with changing speeds. You don't get closer to music than this without actually going into music.

                  In fact, many Chinese language singers pay little attention to tones to make the words fit their songs better.
                  You can't change the tones arbitrarily without risking changing the actual characters themselves.

                          • Having listened to Chinese and Vietnamese speakers, I'll opt for Vietnamese as the worst.
                            Best: Japanese, Italian, or French
                            Funniest: English with a German accent. Always cracks me up.

                            • People tell me I always have a German accent when I speak English
