Language most pleasing to the ear

What language, aside from the main one that you speak, do you find to be the most pleasing to listen to?

What do you find to be the most appealing quality of that language?

I'll put my vote in for French. It has a certain musicality and a flow to it that prevents it from sounding offensive even when it is used in anger. I think it also lends itself well to use in singing.

The one I find most pleasing to listen to is sign language.
My second vote goes to French.

I wish people would choose to speak when its needed instead of always having verbal diarrhea.

I'd have to agree... I think French is a lovely sounding language.

I like Foreign movies and have quite a few French movies and enjoy the language.. and have quite a bit of French Music too.... Both singers/groups and Hip-Hop and I really like it.

I've always found Russian and German pleasing to the Ear

Oh yeah and Black Speech(the language of Mordor, not Ebonics )

Italian if a man is speaking it.French if a woman is talking or singing.

I also like to here a cultured Spanish man speak English with an accent.

I love to hear Antonio Banderas speak English.

I love all accents. Its all on how its spoken!!!

My favourite is German.


People usually tell me it sounds "harsh" or ugly, but to me it sounds perfect!.

I love watching the german channel- and not understanding a thing.
I'm smiling the whole time though- good way to relax when it's raining outside.
lol

The language of Love is known in all language. It is shared among many and it has the power to bring people closer.

Such an otherworldly sing-song lingo, just sooo nice to listen to!

FRENCH~

hands down~ I love listening to the French language. One day I will be fluent!

I'll vote for French. I've learned French out of my own interest, even though its not spoken in my country.
