I know all languages can be "beautiful", but do you like the sound of English? If not, is there a language that you particularly like listening to (you don't necessarily have to understand the language)?

I don't know about English, but I love listening to singing in Latin or Italian.

It doesn't fumble awkwardly over itself, but it's not what you'd call elegant.

I really like the sound of Russian from some speakers; other folks who speak it make it sound more abrasive than German. Arabic can also be really nice.

Hmm, I guess it's ok. French is beautiful.

But the ugliest language I've everheard is Japanese though.

Too be honest, I've never really though about it much. Yesterday, I saw Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou and that guy was singing in Portuguese I believe -- I really liked the sound of the language for some odd reason.

I think it can be. I listened to a recording of my voice backwards and it sounded really neat, kinda like how it would sound to a foreigner i guess.

I find them all annoying :P I do think of it to be in the less annoying category though, the most annoying ones i've heard are the Asian ones. A lot of people in my school speak them, and they just irritate me. :x

English is most likely the most simplistic language on earth. To me it sounds to plain and simple to be beutiful... Besides you must take the accent into account. English english, american english or australian english, they sound almost like different languages.

Most beautiful in my opinion could be French, Japanese, Kurd, Korean and something like that.

No, English was hard as hell for me to learn, I don't find anything 'simple' about it.

I'm not too sure, but they mostly consist of Chinese and Vietnamese.

Hm.. No, English is not simplistic. I think the combined elements of all the languages that help make up English make it a very unique representation of language as a whole. It is a very complex language for that reason.

Nah, I don't think it's a beautiful language. Asa kid I loved it, but meanwhile I use it on a daily basis so it's become very common.

As for beautiful / interesting I love both the Italian language and the Irish (celtic) language :)

It's good to use, though it doesn't always sound as good as Italian or French.

I don't think it's a beautiful language, though it has a nicer sound to it, than the Dutch language. I just think it comes in handy occassionally.
