Objectively true
>>58947887
Your flag really pisses me off.
>>58947887
What is your metric for a language being aesthetically pleasing?
Italian sounds like Arabic.
French sounds like cancerized latin, same for Spanish and Portuguese.
English is just French with 2 or 3 "ayy lmao" Germanic words in it.
Japanese and CHiniese is just ping pong ching chong.
German is fake Dutch with extra cancer.
Indian isn't even a language.
Turks use insect sounds.
Hindi is fine to listen to and French is fucking annoying sounding
>>58948087
Dutch is literally a German trying to speak English.
Everyone is biased
>>58948087
Your language is irrelevant and so is your opinions.
>>58948137
>and French is fucking annoying sounding
Like the various English accents, French is dependant on the person speaking it. Can sound absolutely lovely, other times annoying.
>>58948087
>Italian sounds like Arabic.
>post this song to some friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_swivbEsD50
>ask them if they can guess the country of origin
>all of them replied "some arabic country"
>>58948235
>some arabic country
Not entirely false
>>58948235
Then your friends are retarded. It's very obvious that it's not arabic.
>>58948235
it does sound arabicc, wtf? is is because of the style of music?
>>58948087
Dutch is a perverted German dialect. Literally like a drunk frisian peasant who tries in vain to articulate oneself in a decent way.
>>58948360
>be me
>be driving and listening the radio
>some random arab is speaking

Japanese is aesthetic as fuck, this silly website had just fallen too far into contrarianism.
>>58948087
>>58948629
What do they have in common other than the S sounds?
>>58948629
The two are very distinct. You should expose yourself to more foreign languages.
>>58947887
>Russian
>ok
Russians sound like your average slav, who got an iron rod jammed into his throat. It sounds pretty badass, but is pretty much the exact opposite of aesthetic.
>>58947887
French and Spanish sound disgusting. Sounds like the speech of inferior bastard dogs.
>>58948805
I was referring to the Dutch I replied, who said first that both languages resemble when they are very different.
>>58948740

Russian sample:

Any language can sound "GOD TIER" if spoken by the right person. Shitty list.
>>58948314
Maybe they don't fraternise with Arabs as much as you Swedes.
>>58948915
absolutely disgusting
>>58948712
All guttural languages are disgusting.
>>58948885
but portuguese does not,i'm right my friend ? :3

>>58948915
>>58948915
German sample:
https://youtu.be/xsjdWxLFpB0
My favourite is Greek, sounds like a good version of Spanish. Brazilian Portuguese sounds better than european when spoken by classy people, like Eduardo Cunha. the average brazilian sounds worse than the average portuguese though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVBAzz8n3Os
>>58947887
Here's my list
God tier:
French, German
Pleasant tier:
Dutch, Spanish, Italian
OK tier:
Russian, Japanese
Ugly tier:
Arabic, Hebrew, Mandarin
Disgusting tier:
Cantonese, Thai, Australian
English isn't on the list because when I listen to it, it doesn't sound pleasant or unpleasant, just like words, since I'm a native speaker.

Can you find any poetry or at least a good prose? To make it a fair comparison.
English sample:
https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/3s3h0l21wzbgyvog
>>58949342
Sounds like a slav speaking spanish to me.
Really weird, I was expecting it to sound just like spanish to me, since I don't speak either language, but it doesn't.
>>58949408
(it was a joke m8.)
>>58949342
I mean no offense but Portuguese sounds like Spanish and Dutch had a child.
>>58949418
Not that anon. But try this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dezqkm2ECU4
>>58949434
This is exactly how we speak, hit the nail on the head dutchbro.
>>58948957
splendid meme dude
>>58949467
Now it sounds like an educated Slav speaking Spanish.
>>58948615

>Beautiful.
To each his own. I'm showing poetry which IS DESIGNED to sound beautiful.
And yet that poor girl sound like she choking or reading a chemistry treatise. No musicality whatsoever to it. That "staccato" after each word make it sound like she's reading some ingredient list, not a poem.
>>58947887
Not a bad list. I would swap russian and spanish though. Russian sounds really bad ass to listen to.
>>58949441
never understood the whole''slav sounding meme'' is it because we nasalize everything?
>>58949559
You don't think it's part of education to have at least some rudimentary knowledge about different languages? If you say so..
>>58949467
This is Portuguese accent right?
It's nice, but I stand by my choice. It sounds ok, but it doesn't give me an eargasm like Italian.
>>58949634
I've never heard it before.
Like I said I expected it to sound like it was just Spanish, but when I heard it, if I didn't know it was Portuguese I would have guessed some slavic or at least northern Euro language.
I did catch a few words because I had like 1 year of high school Spanish, but mostly it was slavvic giberish to me.
>>58949719
Yeah. I agree Italian is the best sounding language to me too.
>>58949719
Italian is too faggish desu...the language needs some ''acid'' fealing to it,or it will become something disgustingly boring like spanish...
>>58949637
Yes, learning about irrelevant languages spoken by four guys in an snowhell is extremely useful.

Brazilian portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world.
I thank everyday that we were colonized by portuguese and not by spanish, i hate spanish, its a fucking ugly language and sounds like taco and burritos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1tOV7y94DY
>>58949577
That's pretty cool.
I'm so used to Brazilian accent that it sounds kind of weird to me.
>>58950187
sounds too slutty to my taste if spoken by a female
and too gay if spoken by a male.
>>58950187
Give me a sample that isn't singing, so I can determine whether it is better than Portuguese Portuguese.
>>58950054

I think Portuguese is the only language where the Nigger variation doesn't sound so terrible.
English + niggier = disgusting

Because being more educated than being less educated. And you're really putting up a false dichotomy here. It's not learn about all/most languages or not at all. But rather the major ones and the ones nearby. For instance in the union you're a member of and that plays a very important role in all of our societies. It also enable you to not look like a fool and quickly identify where people are from.
It should be obvious to you why only speaking one language is a disadvantage in an increasingly connected world. (only 22% of Spaniards speak English)
>>58952010
There isn't one spoken Chinese language. There are several mutually UNintelligible spoken languages, only the written language is the same.

But I don't think it necessarily sounds bad on men. It just happens that there are too many faggots in France and a faggot sounds like shit anywhere. But a manly man speaking French is a fine thing.

How is your reading comprehension? I'd say being able to tell if it's a Scandinavian language or not is a good thing, but sure it's pretty irrelevant. Being able to tell if it's a Germanic language or not however is neither irrelevant nor useless.

I know, but prior to that we were talking about recognizing language in general. Which I think is good thing to be able to do. It doesn't have to include smaller languages, but not being able to tell, for instance, Italian from Arabic is, at least in my eyes, pretty sad.

Mmmm... at least not remotely similar to the standard Japanese if you ask me.
Well, but actually I've always thought spoken Korean is almost indistinguishable from Aomori prefecture's Japanese dialects, which are impossible to understand for people in the other parts of Japan, since the vocabularies are totally unique to them and not a single word reminds of the standard Japanese.
Some also say those Northern dialects sound like French.
How do you think?
Just some examples of Japanese spoken in Aomori pref.

Interesting. General American has I think the least number of distinct vowels of any English accent. It should sound fairly neutral and bland aside from the strong "r" sound.
>>58954639
Irish only sounds beautiful when people speak it with that true Irish musical accent. Most of the time it's Anglo-Irish trying to speak it and it sounds hideous.

Well Yiddish and Russian probably had an influence on Modern Hebrew. Even the Jews born speaking it were taught by parents who lived in a different linguistic environment. The ancient language didn't get resurrected unscathed.

Well you can judge a language from a deep analysis of it's structure, semantic construction, phonology, scope etc.
But it's fun to just do a "gut" assessment. Just asking yourself, "Does this sound pleasant to me?". Obviously there is going to be a bias to the languages most similar to yours, but it's an interesting exercise nonetheless.

the language Dante usedis somehow matched to the place he is.
Inferno, low place, he uses somehow a low, simple language (for poetry), so much of the words are actually popular (as in used by the people). Don't get me wrong, it's not that it's bad poetry, only that is not sophisticated elite poetry. So it's a lot understandable. This is why Inferno it's also the best part: not only the cool thematics and dank place described, but also the ease to understand what's going on, due to immediate language.
The more he goes up (apex at the Paradiso) the more lofty and noble becomes the language, full poetry muh virgil muh complicated syntax style. Really fucked up imho, not possible to understand without losing time at every verse.

Russian has palatal consonants so that probably helps. I never said it was impossible just the it's a surprisingly phonologically restrictive language. I have a hard time seeing how they pack so many words and meaning into so few possible syllables. It's certainly more context focused than most Indo-European languages as a result.

How? There are no palatalized consonants in Chinese, you probably confuse it with Japanese.
>>58960882
Let me put it as follows:
When German girls talk, it's just as if they are nervous because they need to go pee-pee. Listening to them is stressfull to me.
Deutsch is meine zweite Sprache. Besser als "le Anglais" Ich brauche kein Wörterbuch seit 20 Jahren schon.
Perhaps, German girls are not the type of cosy cuddle persons I prefer.
As I stressed before, she can talk as fast as she can - I'll understand everything. However, she will nwever be able to talk the way that MAKES ME HARD.
Germans can be true honest friend you can trust (not like *dorks*). But la amour tout jours... una cosa de imposibilidad.
>>58961340
Are you from the French part or the Italian part of ol' Helvetia?
>>58960926
>palatal consonants
Please explain me this.
What I understood about Chinese having learned it a couple of years is: you might learn sigle characters and the way they are pronounced, however, since 80% of all Chinese every day words consist of TWO syllables, you should learn them in pairs with TONES. Burn them in your fucked up brain without thinking what the single part mean.
For example, Huang Di = Emperor
Wan Sui = 10'000 years
Used in meaningful "pair", it's understandable for a regular Chinese.
Sorry for my typos, I'm drinking le nectar des deus, you losers :))))
