Anyway, languages!
German is beautiful in every way, shape, and form. :roll:
In seriousness, Spanish.
Russian. Very melodic.
EDIT: Also, Scots Gaelic.
Je suis d'apprendre le Français !
albeit very slowly.
^the word "french" in French is not capitalized :)
thanks for taking the time to point that out
The one time you capitalize something, Jowy. x)
Maybe you're not looking at all of my posts enough? I utilize proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation occasionally. :aimsun:
German is a fun language. Very suitable for angry yelling.
I love all languages. They're not all nice sounding though.
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE
in my pants
french is awesome and anyone who does not agree is a lamoid
我是聖誕節，大家好。要乖乖喔！！:bigsmile:

I've always loved Russian. Also French and I believe Italian has its charms.
Too bad you can't speak any of it, Phil. :(
Honestly?
I think English is beautiful. :3
English can be pretty sometimes. But German, Russian, Italian, and a certain Korean dialect spoken by someone I know are all very beautiful as well :bigsmile:
I really like arabic. Honestly though, all language is fascinatingly beautiful to me. I've been learning German for six months now, and I think it's a horrible sounding language. But I'm enjoying it for some smurfing reason.
I really enjoy hearing Japanese and Arabic.
I detest German though, not the people mind you, but the language grates on my ears.
Gangnam Style is beautiful, isn't it? What a wonderful man! :love:Quote:

Spanish and Italian.
:heart: :heart:
Most beautiful language has got to be farsi. I wish I could learn. :|

I thought I would love Italian more because it's like THE romance language, but while traveling around Italy, I wasn't as taken with it as I was with French. I love loooooved hearing French spoken by the natives when we visited Paris earlier this year. Made me giddy.
Japanese is also pretty.

Apparently they were calling him a trout head. Good times.
And since some people have mentioned French I must say that I hate that language. Might be a consequence of where I live and the school system trying to force me to learn a bit of it for several years despite my ability to read, speak and understand it when spoken being non-existent. And I got 90's easily in all of my French classes. But who actually uses that language outside of French people who are either living in Quebec, or know enough English to get by outside of Quebec?
Not speaking French has actually come in handy since it means I don't have to go to Quebec for one of our audits and be away from home for a few weeks busting my hump.
Whatever my three years of taking it during high school taught me. I don't know what speaking it has to do with how beautiful I find it to be, though. :greenie:Quote:

I actually speak a good amount of French. Reason I decided to learn it back in the day? It was the trade language. Not because of how it sounds, or anything like that.Quote:

I tend to get tattoos of awesome.
Also on topic: Hieroglyphics is my favorite language. Think about how many stories were told, with those symbols? Maybe it's just because I'm a nerd, but I've always loved them.
I actually got to see some in person, once. I nearly died from excitement.
International French sounds very different from what's spoken in Canada. It flows. Listen to someone from France, Africa, or Viet Nam speaking French and they don't sound like they're taking a dump the way French-Canadians do.Quote:

Nonsense, the guy working at the hostel I stayed in at Jericho Beach had a smurfing awesome accent. Canadians are awesome.
:colbert: Most definitely not.
You've just got bad eggs or something. I guess Australia and Canadia have always been bros though.
Eh?
There are more different Canadian accents than there are different British accents.Quote:

A Newfoundlander and an Albertan sound nothing alike.
Most Ontarians don't have a Canadian accent at all; Even the ones without ethnic accents sound vaguely Jamaican to me.
Even Australia has a variety of accents but I like to generalise because it's easier and sometimes annoys people :jess:
it annoys me you ass

I really adore the Japanese and Korean languages. I find them elegant and so soft on the ears.. <3
They really are... when they aren't being yelled at you in anger :jess:Quote:

We can't talk about Canadian accents without talking about deckles.
As an aside I used to work in a mall about a half hour's drive from the Canadian border (British Columbia) and I could identify a Canadian from across the room. That accent.
This dude knows the score of course. I have the misfortune of having grown up in PEI, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick some I'm sure my accent is some mishmash of oh god my ears.Quote:

If they were from BC then I'm assuming they had an Asian accent? /racismQuote:
