1. English (American, Caribbean, Irish, various African variations)
2. Japanese
3. Korean
4. German
5. Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic) - I like them almost equally

As for my least favorites, I'd say all Romance and Slavic languages.

My favourite is Slovak, but I guess I'm biased here. To me it sounds like more soft and sexy Czech :mrgreen:

From other languages I really love the sound of Estonian and Finnish.

I've always wondered how the difference between those really sound, I like your description :lol:

Slovene I think, at least thats how do they call subject that kids have in school. :lol: I like it too . :)

Same thing is happening in Serbian though, I often hear people saying 'Slovenski' instead of 'Slovenački' #stupid Slovenski relates to whole group of languages, Slovenacki to:sl:

I don't understand what is attractive with :il: Hebrew. I just remember 2010 entry of Israel. Sounds pretty disgusting :? Not something I would like to hear at all. French and German aren't that different but I like French because of the songs I like in French.

I like :it: :mk: (thank you Kaliopi :D) :tr: and Scandinavian languages. They sound pretty nice to me :rolleyes:

Hebrew is beautiful imo, but it takes a bit time to adjust to thanks to the "throat sounds", but once you get passed that it's a really nice language. If they'd replace the throat sounds with H or X (slavic "silent H") though it would be much more appealing generally I reckon.

Excuse me? :lol:


My favourite languages are :

:pl: Seems like it's quite an unpopular one among foreigners, just love the sound of it and the way it's written is kinda mysterious to me.
:hr: Maybe an odd comparison, but it's the Italian of the Eastern European languages imo :D Amazing, no wonder you Croatians almost always get me with your ballads.
:lv: Interesting one too. Don't know enough about it though. But it certainly appeals to me. I want more of it in Eurovision.
:no: Not quite the same thing as the previous ones. :p I started learning it some time ago, I wish I could resume lessons soon.


Polish is the opposite of French as we have so few words containing "y" and "z" whereas Polish is filled with those letters, that difference is fascinating :p

Otherwise, in absolute terms, English is a beautiful-sounding language, but due to globalization, I guess it lost lots of its appeal, it's not exotic anymore.

In all other European languages which use the Latin alphabet the letter "v" is commonly used, whereas in Polish this letter doesn't exist (well, only in a few loan words) :lol:

Disappointed that :rs: is not getting too much attention :( Believe me its beautiful too, you just need to feel it :D
