Best Sounding Language

Spanish, singing in that language sounds so beautiful.

Old Norse or German.

Chinese sounds really nasal to me and feminine.

French and Turkish (spoken by the girls).   

Greek wasn't on the list, neither was Russian, or Welsh. I think Russian sounds amazing, at least to me. Welsh is a very interesting language to listen to, though, of course I don't understand a word (okay, so I know like five words.) I also like the standard British English.

Anyway, since my favorites were not listed, I voted for French. About half my family speaks it, and I am probably biased, but there you go.

Actually yes, I should have mentioned it! I heard a lot of Persian and Dari being spoken (which by what I understand is a dialect of Persian) and it was really flowing. Persian is also a very, very rich language with an amazing history.
Pity it wasn't on the list.

Here, in Spain, it's the opposite, when i see a film translated in South America it sounds very extrange and they use a peculiar vocabulary with too much English influence.

Nobody wants to Listen T�rkic French i think :D:D:D Because we can not prononce a lot of things...

Umm... its a shame persian isnt in this list I also like Turkish and the Lebanese arabic :)

Originally posted by pinguin   English is the softer of the Germanic languages, I believe, and it does not sound bad in singing. However, it requires a lot of effort of the poets to make it sound fine. In phonetic languages, like Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Mapudungun (Chilean Indian), language simply follow music.

For me isn't bad or rude, but cold. But contrary of you, i think that the english is better for sing, at least modern music, at the moment that this idiom is direct, i don't know which is the word... you know that we spanish speakers need a lot of more words than the anglo speakers when we want to say the same thing, so our phrases lose power. Of course we get other advantages (expresivity, variety of emotions, accuracy...) but for the music is very important short sentences with force. Curiously, this don't rule for the metal music, because our friends think that the spanish heavy is strongest than the english Like i said before, the proof is the succes of many spanish hard rock or heavy metal groups in Europe.
