Hi,
which language do you think sounds the best, is most beautiful and pleasant to the ear?
From what I've heard I like Latin most.

They even have a saying: Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum viditur.
Or "Anything said in Latin sounds profound".
 
I like a language that's direct and open to new possibilities: english. Like, hey, I need to sync pronto. I also like german but words tend to be a tad long. French! Too many words and roundabouts, as is spanish. Latin, although I don't speak it, feels too convoluted for my personality -- and has that green brass, abraded feel to it.
 
Won't a lot depend on the accent?

Or the tempo/rhythm. I suppose it all depends on personal taste. I prefer angular over melodic -- each 'beautiful' in their own right, I suppose.
 
Urdu is the most beautiful language I know. I luuuuv Urdu poetry, especially the ghazal and the work of Mirza Ghalib.

You can say stuff in Urdu that is simply impossible to translate.

my sister speaks urdu..her kids sound hilarious in their little kid voices, babbling away.

i believe what you say!
 
Alot of languages are beautiful but are spoken so rapidly it loses it's appeal. East Asian tongues are like this. Arabic and Persian too. If they were spoken much more slowly they would sound better.
 
is Opera a language? Can it be spoken without song? No, Not Oprah.
