What is the prettiest language?

[aimeeandbeatles]

Prettiest as in reading it or looking at it (even if you cant read it). What do you think. I would make a poll but I dont know all the languages.

 

[Del Pino]

I like the way Spanish and French are written.

 

[Kyriakos]

Im still thinking of learning french.

But i consider greek to be superior

 

[civver_764]

Albanian.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I've always like the look and sound of Spanish

 

[Babbler]

English language #1

 

[Lillefix]

No one likes the sound of the Germanic languages. I wonder why.
edit: except patriots of course

 

[Tekee]

Albanian.

LOlWUT? Seriously? They call themselves Shiptars....
elaborate please.. I actualy think german sounds cool and oh so funny. Glessinsheishster.

 

[Ekolite]

No one likes the sound of the Germanic languages. I wonder why.

Actually some German accents sound really good. German doesn't look good, in fact it usually looks quite scary, but it can sound good with the right accent.

 

[Smellincoffee]

Those who don't think German can be beautiful should listen to Nena.

 

[Onionsoilder]

Japanese looks quite nice, and sounds beautiful when sung, but normal conversation just sounds like conversation.

 

[Mango Elephant]

I love Finnish and Welsh and most of the East/South-East Asian alphabets.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

in no particular order:

portugese
french
russian
many of the african languages (i will admit ignorance to which ones they are)
arabic

 

[civver_764]

Persian and Arabic are pretty nice looking too.

 

[classical_hero]

I have to say French is the prettiest. The ugliest I would have to say is Russian with all the letters often backwards.

 

[Imrahil91]

The prettiest language to listen to must be Italian or Spanish, maybe French if it's spoken with a soft accent. But just to look at and read, I guess it must be something like Persian, Tamil or Japanese, or any other "drawing" language.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

The language that coined "proteome".

 

[mechaerik]

Arabic, Farsi, and Russian, if we're going by the appearance.

 

[Icaria909]

You may think this strange but my favorite languages to listen to are Russian (how could you not love a language with all those glides and palatization), Catalan, and modern Greek.

As to nice writing, I would have to vote for Thai, Georgian (Nuskhuri alphabet), Russian (cyrillic alphabet), and Greek (Katharevousa).

I don't know why one like French as the prettiest language. It sounds too nasally for me, But it is a great language to study and an important one to learn.

 

[sophie]

I like Spanish, Latin sounds pretty pretty too.
