World languages ordered from most "pleasant to listen to" to "least pleasant to listen to".

Someone asked me to make this list for them, tell me if you agree or disagree.

This is from the perspective of an ex-pat living in Los Angeles (won't say native country :^) )

Forgive me if your language is not represented here, I am sure it's beautiful!

Some thoughts:
- British English sounds appealing even to non-English speakers, this might be why The Beatles (and many other British bands) were so successful internationally.
- Korean and Japanese pop music is also successful internationally, their languages lend better to music because they do not have the influence of Chinese tones.
- Mandarin and Cantonese are D: to listen to! The tones make music sound appalling! To non-Chinese speakers, the tones make the speaker sound as though they are constantly asking a question in mid-sentence. Worse, inexperienced Chinese speakers who are bad with the tones sound as though they are saying completely different words! Very annoying!

I think german sounds better than danish. The problem with german is our reference is always hitler's speeches, but it actually sounds pretty soft when not spoken screaming with anger
>>
>>60471410
Double J sound in Korean sounds more abrupt and distinct, Japanese consonants flow better with the vowels being more evenly distributed (most commonly one vowel for every one consonant, sometimes two consonants for one vowel) and also has the ō vowel sound for disambiguation.
>>
Everytime I hear Cantonese, I almost feel like tapping on the speaker's shoulder and saying "it's not okay to be this stereotypical toward Chinese people!" But that's just how their language naturally sounds:

Even if you don't speak English or care about her cause, it still seems like whatever she has to say is important.

There's a reason why almost every major documentary has a British English speaker. It just sounds important, distinguished, and elegant. Easy to parse sonically.

Why do you think some American television shows are replacing their hosts with British speakers? (John Oliver) Most people think the same sentence when spoken by a British accent is more likely to be authentic and informed even if there is no difference in the words!

I think most people agree that the 6 tones in Cantonese are pretty appalling for music. The only time Cantonese ever sounded cool was when Pai Mei spoke it, and that was because it made him sound like he was possessed by a demon. Cantonese in every day speech just sounds like asian people making fun of asian culture. Very disgraceful.

Why the fuck is part of the nation allowed to wave a flag that was associated with the biggest traitors of the USA? That flag literally stood for the disestablishment of the USA and they're just waving it unironically like complete morons while expecting to have their political voices heard.

The USA is such a band of pussies to let Southern edgelords wave a flag associated with the literal destruction of the union. Germany cracked down on the neo-Nazis, get your shit together America.

The only places worse to live in than the US deep south would probably be the war-torn parts of Africa. You just can't get people to be this shitty on purpose.

Danish doesn't sound so bad when you're eating a hot dog with remoulade on it.

Also Danish waiters are inconceivably rude.

Can people outside of ausnz even tell the difference between the nz and aus accent?

When I was in South America I met some Australians and other tourists and the locals couldn't tell the difference between our accents.

Hell I even met another kiwi over there and thought they were Australian based purely on accent.

>most commonly one vowel for every one consonant, sometimes two consonants for one vowel

this is wrong
japanese is ALWAYS CV, with one exception for ん/n, Even then, take the word "ringo"(apple) for example. It's not parsed as [rin][go], or [ri][ngo], but as its on mora, [ri][n][go]

Your vowels are wrong.

Also people like sir Edmond Hillary didn't have that vowel switch accent and neither do some of the older NZlanders I met, they spoke properly.

Look at how sir Edmund Hillary speak, he speaks like an Australian.

>>60475631
You misunderstood what I meant, but I wasn't very clear. What I meant was that the order is usually one consonant followed by one vowel to give a more "even distribution of vowels and consonants", it makes the language sound more "flowing".

One small exception is the small tsu used for double consonant which as you said is somewhat uncommon.

But I was (unclearly) saying that words in japanese are typically C-V-C-V-C-V...

Example:
Ano hito wa dare desu ka?
Ohi sa shi buri desu.

The tones in your language make your music sound terrible. I used to think I was racist, but no, you have to adjust the pitch of your songs to make it match the words you're trying to say because regular music can't work with your schizophrenic language.

Also you probably couldn't write the character for "sneeze" on a sheet a paper if I asked you to. Name me another language where native speakers are unable to do that without a computer to help them.

Literally no such thing. There's the florida cracker accent which is just a variant of southern accent, but it's pretty much contained in the panhandle. My aunt and uncle speak with it. The majority of people from Florida speak with the basic accent.

Objectively bad and biased list. latin languages like Spanish and French are the best to listen to. English not bad, but too high. Korean is not ok. Portuguese is definately not worst than Romanian. Redneck English is cool. Danish is pretty ugly, doesn't belong in the green region.

European Portuguese is annoying, yes. Because of you folks everyone puts Portuguese near the bottom in those ranks, it's shameful. I just don't know why do they keep considering European Portuguese instead of the real one (the Brazilian, of course) which is undeniably 100x better since we improved it in so many ways, as colonies usually do. I don't expect them to change their minds though, I hope they keep acknowledging your dialect instead of ours so you can see over and over again how bad you make your language sound. Kek, had to get this outta my chest. Goodbye, my moortuguese friend.
