I would say Italian sounds the most pleasant to me. Also Portuguese sounds interesting too (both varieties).
I would throw in my native Ukrainian too. Technically on paper its my native language but I actually speak Rusyn which imo sounds distinct from traditional Ukrainian. To me both Italian and Ukrainian sound very melodic, which maybe has to do with the usage of so many vowels.
I really like Swedish, it's slightly musical and flows nicely. When people say Hej hej and hej då they seem to be enjoying saying it, it sounds cute.
I swear Swedes saying how much they like fika or how important lagom is to swedish culture is partly because they like saying those words.

Altyazısız filmleri anlayana kadar İngilizce okumaktan veya konuşmaktan kaçının.
Persian for its bright, poetic nature, and Turkish for its bounciness (I feel like “bouncy” describes Turkish somewhat well) and harmoniousness. I’m also just a sucker for most umlaut vowel sounds and the Turkish R at the end of words.
Now now, let’s not exaggerate here.
Standard Italian is in good part the Tuscan vulgar of the time, and most of the phonology comes from there, too; they didn’t pull it out of nowhere. I’ve always disliked this narrative that Italian is somehow an “artificial” language created ad hoc, without a rich history and natural evolution.
It was codified by a relatively small number of intellectuals, but they didn’t create it as much as *defined* what it was.
The modern Tuscan accent (unless you speak to someone from Prato, then you’re doomed) is very close to standard Italian, aside from the famous (infamous?) “aspirated” consonants. But when it comes to other consonant or vowels sounds, voiced/unvoiced sibilants (/s/ vs /z/ and /t͡s/ vs /d͡z/) open/closed vowels, phonosyntactic gemination (?) and so on, a Tuscan with good enunciation will be practically indistinguishable from the standard accent. Unless they have to pronounce anything with intervocalic /k/, /t͡ʃ/ and /d͡ʒ/ or /t/ and /d/ (but even then most people only notice /k/, and some speakers can still reproduce those sounds very accurately, essentially eliminating the only easily recognisable feature of the regional accent).
I certainly don’t claim to have a perfect standard accent or anything (in fact I tend to slur my words a lot), but even then I’ve been asked multiple times where I was from because people couldn’t tell from my accent.
Many words are similar, but a lot of words are different as well. It can be very difficult to understand, but they can understand you if you speak central/Bangkok Thai. The northern dialect sounds more 'sweet', just like the food and the people, compared to the spicier south.
Yes, in burning season I go south and noticed that I love Nothern Thai. It kind of clearer sounds as if I would imagine thai language without hearing it.
Maybe someone could explain differences more deeply as I know only Thai alphabet, a bit of tone rules and small amount of words
German & Scandinavian languages sound like drinking a cup of coffee with a person after a rain in the morning.
Korean sounds like being polite in a formal occasion, such as an important meeting.
Spanish & Italian sounds like being welcomed into a warm, nostalgic household. Sharing and enjoying the dinner full of Mediterranean cuisines.
Mandarin Chinese sounds wise, and caring.
I guess everyone loves their own language as it doesn't need any extra effort to understand.
Hmm.. i think japanese, Korean and french sounds nice. (Btw my native language is not any of above)
interesting that I don't love the way English sounds on its own. it's not bad per se, I just don't enjoy it apart from people with an objectively pretty voice
I'm convinced most people are answering spanish/italian because they're romanticized countries rather than because of the language. Like most of the users are americans and it's not secret as an outsider that people romanticize mexico and mexicans a lot, and therefore spanish. Otherwise I'd expect for example slavic languages to come up a lot more, or greek for example as it sounds really similar to spanish to me. These beautiful languages are more of a representation of people's favorite vacation places. I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-20 years a good portion of these answers are south-east asian languages as they're becoming more "trendy" vacation destinations to the west
Nope, native English speaker- have spent a long time learning mandarin though. Also got to visit hong kong and guangzhou a few times- Canto's far from an ugly language btw! Think it has a very cool and unique sound, wish i knew more than 2-3 phrases
Since it caught a bit of flak in the “Which language do you hate” thread recently, and because everyone loves Brazilian Portuguese, I’m going to have to share some love for European Portuguese here.
Biased as it’s what I’m learning, but I genuinely enjoy how it sounds. Brings back great feelings and memories of being in Portugal, especially northern accents, and I find it so interesting how it shares so many similarities with other Romance languages but at times can sound so different.
I love Brazilian Portuguese because it sounds like everyone is just so damn cool, but I also love European Portuguese because the sound just seems so out of place for the location. It sounds very slavic to me, like a Russian person speaking Spanish. I love Romanian for the same reason, it sounds like a Russian person speaking Italian.
Serbian sounds nice, but not Bulgarian (I am not sure if main point is the sound, or the fact it sounds strange because of no cases). I like Italian and my Ukrainian
I started learning turkish because I love how it sounds and I think it is a super interesting language because of the use of suffixes and vowel/consonants harmony. It's also very different from the languages I'm used to (french, english and italian)
Celtic languages are pretty, JRR Tolkien was right about that IMO.
ASL doesn't have a sound, but IMO fluent ASL looks gorgeous. Like a dance with just your hands.
Depends on my mood :p it changes every two mornings, but here is the language I love without any particular order or reason to it :
Japanese, Korean, Finnish, Hungarian, Georgian, German, Greek, Persian, Chinese, Russian, Polish and Icelandic
Portuguese. It's interesting how the two varieties sound so different - European sounds like a Slavic language while Brazilian sounds like Italian and Spanish.
I've never heard much of Brazilian Portuguese but was surprised by how it sounded in Portugal, especially for a language so close to Spanish. It's like all the sounds from the mouth are shifted and their accent sounds nothing like their immediate neighbor. Although I don't know if there's some cross contamination along the borders.
You have languages like Danish and Swedish that are extremely similar and right next to each other yet Danes sound like they speak some sort of Swedish while having a frog in their mouth, it sounds very different. Apparently accents in the south of Sweden sound like Danes, it's like there's cross-contamination of accents. Maybe it's something in the air.
Many Sub-Saharan African languages. I LOVE the sound of Zulu, sounds amazing to me. Also Haitian Creole, Norwegian, Swedish, Bambara, Portuguese, and African French
German, Xhosa, and Brazilian Portuguese are my favorites in terms of modern languages
I also like Classical Arabic, Classical Latin, Old English, and while it's hard to find good readings, Reconstructed Biblical Hebrew (specifically reconstructed Hebrew not the traditional pronunciations)
I love hearing the sounds of Polish. Those fricatives and affricates are sooohhhhh crunchy, it makes the language suitable for ASMR. It also doesn't have ɫ (the older speakers sometimes pronounce ł like this) which I don't like to hear.
cliche but french. ever since i started learning it, it’s just gotten better!!
also i’m a native hindi speaker and worked really hard to learn the american accent so it sounds really sweet to me.
GERMAN= German is so comprehensible and has a graceful gap between each word and not a blurry mess. The word combinations are cute.
ENGLISH= I mean, I'm english myself and it's all I've ever known most of my life. I adore how the vocabulary is extremely rich and you can express yourself in various ways.
DUTCH= It has that apparent horrible G, but it has its charm and isn't annoying. If it doesn't annoy me, it's doing good enough, plus it reminds me of my own language. I love how similar it is. I find it charming and hilarious.
ARABIC= I like the rough sounds. It has a nice spoken speed and clear.
I like languages that are more slowly spoken and separate their words with some rough sounds. The usual languages that are said to be romantic and beautiful, I don't like them. The ones usually said to be aggressive and ugly are the ones that I can tolerate and prefer. I don't like it when romance languages speak and the words blend into an ungraceful mess. I find it unsophisticated.
I love the sound of Occitan and Gascon (if you consider them separate language).
As a French, they sound to me like French but with the smooth and flowy sound of Latin languages.
100% Russian. I like the kind of rumbling sound it has and it definitely drew me to the language.
I also think French sounds nice. Mandarin has grown on me since I began learning it.
i am not Arabic but i am Arabic speaker so its my first language i always feel proud that i talk with it because people that learn that language will never speak it as a native
Mandarin, Maltese, and Italian are just so beautiful. Especially Maltese. Although I haven't learned it, and probably will never, it's such a cool language, a real cross between Romance and Arabic languages, while having such a nice sound to it. Sadly, it's not spoken that much, even in Malta, anymore, and I honestly hope for a revival.
All Polynesian languages sound beautiful to me. Just softer and more vowelly than most other languages.
There are a lot of different language families native to North America, all of them that I've heard sound absolutely beautiful to me as well. Lakota comes to mind in particular.
Italian and Turkish. They are very melodic to the ear, filled with emotion too. Idk I think this way because I’m mostly listening to love songs in that languages tho
Yes sure, here are some of my favorites:
Seni Her Gordugumde- Erkin Koray
Sevemez Kimse Seni-Zeki Muren,
Ho Capito Che Ti Amo- Luigi Tenco,
Che Bella Idea- Fred Bongusto.
The Romance languages all sound great and I’m a big fan of them. Other than those, I’d say Finnish, Japanese, and Turkish are some of my favourites. There’s a lot of languages I like the sound of so this was challenging to narrow down.
Half Serb here- thanks! For me, it’s Brazilian Portuguese- the intonations, the nasally-ness. I once heard it described as sounding like native Russians speaking Portuguese and I think that’s pretty on the money
I think they all sound ridiculous until you actually start understanding them. Then, they sound pretty cool.
However, I think Turkish is one of the most funny sounding languages I've ever heard.
What I always find interesting is how the sound of a language changes after I spend time learning it.
It's one of the most interesting psychological experiences I think I've had. It sounds one way prior to studying, another way and keeps changing the more I learn it.
Ukrainian sounds amazing. soft, but very expressive, and with such interesting intonation. I also love Brazilian Portuguese. and as a Czech/Italian I'm very flattered, I always think Czech sounds a little rough with all those consonants.
As a Macedonian slavic probably Ukranian , Polish and Russian are my favourite sounding languages. In general I like Italian and Spanish , the languages of melody as I say.
As an Italian I've never felt amazed by how it sounds, however the other languages in Italy are very cool, apart from how it sounds the history is also amazing. Italian was imposed over a multitude of languages to force the unification of Italy and the other languages are not taught anymore and are slowly dying out.
Also, a lot of languages like these are not officially recognized by the State, like Veneto (considered dialect), which is an official language in Brazil (Talian language, a variation of Veneto due to immigration after the Napoleon thing in Italy), but still not recognized by Italy. The other Italic languages are way cooler I can barely speak my own since it's just taught in the family
I like swedish. It has a happy accent, like skipping for talking. There's swedish from the Skargård and Nomi and the media, but there's swedish spoken by happy swedes.
It depends on the objective:
If I'm going to talk about love, I prefer French,
if you need to flirt and be sensual, Spanish is a good choice,
and Brazilian Portuguese for parties (you sing as you speak).
I would say Italian sounds the most pleasant to me. Also Portuguese sounds interesting too (both varieties). I would throw in my native Ukrainian too. Technically on paper its my native language but I actually speak Rusyn which imo sounds distinct from traditional Ukrainian. To me both Italian and Ukrainian sound very melodic, which maybe has to do with the usage of so many vowels.
Rusyn is definitely awesome to listen to.
As a Serbian, I've never been more flattered.
Georgian is the most beautiful language I've ever heard. It's amazing how a language with so many consonants can be so poetic and pleasant.
As a Czech person, I am flattered. I am going to say French and Japanese for me.
You’re welcome I love czech! I heard it for the first time in a movie called “Valerie and her week of wonders”
Porteño accent en español Italiano West African French Romanian Serbian Greek
Omg Romanian too 🇷🇴 prettiest Latin language next to Italian
Castillian Spanish, Swedish, Japanese, in that order. Mandarin is starting to grow on me though, it's beautiful when sung.
I really like Swedish, it's slightly musical and flows nicely. When people say Hej hej and hej då they seem to be enjoying saying it, it sounds cute. I swear Swedes saying how much they like fika or how important lagom is to swedish culture is partly because they like saying those words.
Bro hello, how did you forward in english? Can you tell me just a little

Persian for its bright, poetic nature, and Turkish for its bounciness (I feel like “bouncy” describes Turkish somewhat well) and harmoniousness. I’m also just a sucker for most umlaut vowel sounds and the Turkish R at the end of words.
Utterance final Turkish R is one of the most beautiful sounds, same with the devoiced y
I love the sound of Turkish too. I feel like it just has a nice flow to it, and the vowel harmony definitely helps with that.
Italian, no surprise because it was essentially ‘invented’ to sound nice (the modern ‘standardised’ version)
Now now, let’s not exaggerate here. Standard Italian is in good part the Tuscan vulgar of the time, and most of the phonology comes from there, too; they didn’t pull it out of nowhere. I’ve always disliked this narrative that Italian is somehow an “artificial” language created ad hoc, without a rich history and natural evolution.

I certainly don’t claim to have a perfect standard accent or anything (in fact I tend to slur my words a lot), but even then I’ve been asked multiple times where I was from because people couldn’t tell from my accent.
South American Spanish or Portuguese always sounds so melodic to me, even when they're threatening to kill each other in Narcos.
French, Japanese and Spanish in no particular order. French and Spanish are just so smooth and Japanese tickles my brain if that makes sense
Serbian, Russian, German, Finnish, Norwegian, Igbo, Swahili, and Mandarin.
I love Greek
Me too
Serbian.
Turkish when sung is very beautiful, I also enjoy hearing Persian and French
Turkish when sung is the reason I feel in love with turkish
Hey, I’m curious which Turkish songs you enjoy listening to?
there’s a lot but murat boz, ismail YK, mabel matiz, and random pop songs
The baguette language
Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Portuguese (all dialects)
Russian Icelandic Japanese German
Northern Thai, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese
dude Brazilian Portuguese is so underrated
Interesting, is Northern Thai very different from high Thai?
Many words are similar, but a lot of words are different as well. It can be very difficult to understand, but they can understand you if you speak central/Bangkok Thai. The northern dialect sounds more 'sweet', just like the food and the people, compared to the spicier south.
Here's a short comparison: [https://youtube.com/shorts/pl3zF-jty5c?si=1mlWzB7lKLRpt9Mv](https://youtube.com/shorts/pl3zF-jty5c?si=1mlWzB7lKLRpt9Mv)

>Brazilian Portuguese Please watch [this video](https://youtu.be/U86YPIT-U2U?si=UeG6vC9-Y9QuKWib).

I like your analogies.
What does Irish sound like to you? https://youtu.be/aZOQirZJEKE?si=yeqiX6k5eVl-z0xR
Lithuanian just sounds elegant and clean. That's what I think from my limited exposure at least.
Scandinavian languagues. Because the "RRRRRRRR"s and hard pronunciations are taking me away. Also I listen a lot of metal bands from Scandinavia.
I guess everyone loves their own language as it doesn't need any extra effort to understand. Hmm.. i think japanese, Korean and french sounds nice. (Btw my native language is not any of above)
interesting that I don't love the way English sounds on its own. it's not bad per se, I just don't enjoy it apart from people with an objectively pretty voice
Yess. Actually the the person speaking has the ability to speak the language in a way that even the language doesn't sounds nice he/she can make it
I'm convinced most people are answering spanish/italian because they're romanticized countries rather than because of the language.

Español
The romantic language to be sound wise is Gaelic
Love the sound of cantonese, there's something very musical about it
Are you a native Cantonese speaker? I am and even though I love it with all my heart, I feel like it sounds ugly. 😞
Nope, native English speaker- have spent a long time learning mandarin though. Also got to visit hong kong and guangzhou a few times- Canto's far from an ugly language btw! Think it has a very cool and unique sound, wish i knew more than 2-3 phrases
Persian, because it sounds so poetic and so romantic at the same time.
I need to listen to Middle Eastern languages more...
German, it's "deep" sound is so good for some reason
how'd you describe that 'deep' sound? a little more please
Absolut!
Since it caught a bit of flak in the “Which language do you hate” thread recently, and because everyone loves Brazilian Portuguese, I’m going to have to share some love for European Portuguese here.

It sounds very slavic to me, like a Russian person speaking Spanish. I love Romanian for the same reason, it sounds like a Russian person speaking Italian.
i love the sounds of czech and german
Soft languages with frequent vowels and few ugly throat sounds, so the likes of Hindi, Tswana, Greek, Spanish
Albanian because it just sounds so unique. It sounds like a mix of every language
Serbian sounds nice, but not Bulgarian (I am not sure if main point is the sound, or the fact it sounds strange because of no cases). I like Italian and my Ukrainian
I started learning turkish because I love how it sounds and I think it is a super interesting language because of the use of suffixes and vowel/consonants harmony. It's also very different from the languages I'm used to (french, english and italian)

You really love agglutinative languages it seems! At least the first 5 are
As a bulgarian, I feel very flattered. I haven't heard alot of ppl say they like it.
Agreed, I would love to know OP's reason haha
Bulgarian music! like fiki
U have taste alright!
I absolutely adore the sound of Welsh. I find it earthy, melodic, and beautiful. I'm actually going to try and learn it :)
french, Russian, Italian

Italian, Russian, Danish
Hawaiian is the most beautiful language I have ever heard
Français and italian
Many Sub-Saharan African languages. I LOVE the sound of Zulu, sounds amazing to me. Also Haitian Creole, Norwegian, Swedish, Bambara, Portuguese, and African French
Telugu(from Andhra Pradesh) Japanese Italian(Telugu actually sounds similar to Italian) Hindi German Russian
Cantonese, I should start learning it some day...
German, I’ve been tempted to learn it solely for its sound alone
NORWEGIAN
I really like Arabic. I'd say most Semitic languages are beautiful but Arabic is the best sounding. I really like Greek, Italian, Icelandic.
The Icelandic accent has to be one of my favorite accents in English.
German, Xhosa, and Brazilian Portuguese are my favorites in terms of modern languages I also like Classical Arabic, Classical Latin, Old English, and while it's hard to find good readings, Reconstructed Biblical Hebrew (specifically reconstructed Hebrew not the traditional pronunciations)
What does classical Latin sound like...
Russian and Portuguese!
Spanish, it just seems like such a fun and flowy language to learn! No wonder I have a 500+ streak on Duolingo.
Czech for sure, hard to articulate why.
Honestly, I agree. It has a sharp sound that is cool
Portuguese, French, Castilian, Italian… I’m something of a Latin enjoyer myself
Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Colombian Spanish, Catalan, Greek, Farsi, Hawaiian, Maori, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Japanese and Finnish
Russian, German and Portuguese
Japanese, not just about the sound of the language, but the way Japanese people delivery it makes it very comfortable to hear
Albanian 🥰 It's like an ancient language from a fairytale
I love hearing the sounds of Polish. Those fricatives and affricates are sooohhhhh crunchy, it makes the language suitable for ASMR. It also doesn't have ɫ (the older speakers sometimes pronounce ł like this) which I don't like to hear.
Georgian 🇬🇪 sounds really lovely to me. There's something incredibly enjoyable listening to it being spoken
I know its not a popular opinion, but I am pretty fond of the way German and Japanese sound. Mandarin would be a close second.
cliche but french. ever since i started learning it, it’s just gotten better!! also i’m a native hindi speaker and worked really hard to learn the american accent so it sounds really sweet to me.
Italian for me
I love finnish, I sometimes watch things in finnish even if I don't understand a word. It's so unique
GERMAN= German is so comprehensible and has a graceful gap between each word and not a blurry mess. The word combinations are cute. ENGLISH= I mean, I'm english myself and it's all I've ever known most of my life. I adore how the vocabulary is extremely rich and you can express yourself in various ways.

I don't like it when romance languages speak and the words blend into an ungraceful mess. I find it unsophisticated.
Me too i always found “ugly” languages more beautiful than the Romance languages 😭the real Romance languages are Arabic, persian, and Turkish
The southern provinces in the Netherland use a softer sounding G.
French! It's so beautiful to hear
Check out Ukrainian too, I'm in love with how it sounds
English
**Southern U.S. English.** For some reason, the way people from southern US states talk lowers my blood pressure.
I’m from New York and i love southern accents!!!
Alabama thanks you ❤️
Same both Southern White American Vernacular English and African American Vernacular English are my favorite American Dialect Continuums.
I love the sound of Occitan and Gascon (if you consider them separate language). As a French, they sound to me like French but with the smooth and flowy sound of Latin languages.
English, French, German and Norwegian + Swedish
Persian. Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali come second.
A lot of people like how french sounds but I hate how it sounds.No offense though. I like Italian,Georgian and Hebrew
I like the sound of Italian, Russian, and of course Latin and Classical Greek!
Mongolian. This language sounds the most Eurasian.
Swedish sounds nice. And Danish. Swedish sounds sing spongy and Danish is, well, Danish.
100% Russian. I like the kind of rumbling sound it has and it definitely drew me to the language. I also think French sounds nice. Mandarin has grown on me since I began learning it.
Hebrew and Finnish sound the coolest
I like hebrew if they tone it down with the KH
Portuguese from Santa Catarina, Brasil, especially when you get further from the cities. It's so mellow I enjoyed getting cussed out
Italian (I’m biased) and Russian. I could listen to Russian all day.
Spanishhh , I want to learn it so bad
Arabic, Spanish, and Romanian
French, followed by Italian and Portuguese. Outside of the IE family: Georgian.
Belarusian and Russian. They sound so cute lol
Tahitian
I find Ukrainian supperrrr pretty and I like Spanish too
I have a thing for finnish
I like how Korean sounds.
Portuguese, either Brazilian or European, they’re both very satisfying on the ears for me.
Japanese and French are my favorites by far. That is actually what motivated me to start learning it.
I like Finnish.
languages i like bc of the way they’re sung: spanish, korean, japanese languages i like the sound of in general: german, french, japanese
Portuguese
french is best for me
(idk why)
Besides my native tongues, top 3 most beautiful sounding languages to me are: 1. Persian 2. Greek 3. Italian
i am not Arabic but i am Arabic speaker so its my first language i always feel proud that i talk with it because people that learn that language will never speak it as a native
My native language is Arabic and I find Farsi language captivating
Mandarin, Maltese, and Italian are just so beautiful. Especially Maltese. Although I haven't learned it, and probably will never, it's such a cool language, a real cross between Romance and Arabic languages, while having such a nice sound to it. Sadly, it's not spoken that much, even in Malta, anymore, and I honestly hope for a revival.
Definitely French. I have no idea why so many people hate it
French. Is the classic answer for a reason. Especially in music
Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷🌹🍷🎶 is just honey to my ears
All Polynesian languages sound beautiful to me. Just softer and more vowelly than most other languages. There are a lot of different language families native to North America, all of them that I've heard sound absolutely beautiful to me as well. Lakota comes to mind in particular.
British is so hot!!
Italian and Turkish. They are very melodic to the ear, filled with emotion too. Idk I think this way because I’m mostly listening to love songs in that languages tho
Hi, could you share some of your favorite songs in those languages with me? Thank you
Yes sure, here are some of my favorites: Seni Her Gordugumde- Erkin Koray Sevemez Kimse Seni-Zeki Muren, Ho Capito Che Ti Amo- Luigi Tenco, Che Bella Idea- Fred Bongusto.
The Romance languages all sound great and I’m a big fan of them. Other than those, I’d say Finnish, Japanese, and Turkish are some of my favourites. There’s a lot of languages I like the sound of so this was challenging to narrow down.
My native lenguage is serbo-croatian(bosanski) so it prodobley nr 2 is russian
Half Serb here- thanks! For me, it’s Brazilian Portuguese- the intonations, the nasally-ness. I once heard it described as sounding like native Russians speaking Portuguese and I think that’s pretty on the money
tatar
Hebrew
Armenian
Lebanese Arabic sounds very sweet.
Romanian is LITERALLY what you are describing. Latin + Old Slavic and influences from the south
I think they all sound ridiculous until you actually start understanding them. Then, they sound pretty cool. However, I think Turkish is one of the most funny sounding languages I've ever heard.
Galego (galician) is a very hot language. 🔥 I just love the way it sounds (I guess it's similar to Portuguese).
Romanian, a mixture of Slavic and Italian language.
What I always find interesting is how the sound of a language changes after I spend time learning it. It's one of the most interesting psychological experiences I think I've had. It sounds one way prior to studying, another way and keeps changing the more I learn it.
Turkish sounds so exquisite in my opion
German and Arabic have my heart. German sounds so comforting to me as a native English speaker. Arabic sounds so beautiful And important.
I think Italian and Belorussian. For sure listen Belorussian language if u don't trust me
Ukrainian sounds amazing. soft, but very expressive, and with such interesting intonation. I also love Brazilian Portuguese. and as a Czech/Italian I'm very flattered, I always think Czech sounds a little rough with all those consonants.
Serbian and Korean FOR SURE
Ukrainian and Hungarian.
As a Macedonian slavic probably Ukranian , Polish and Russian are my favourite sounding languages. In general I like Italian and Spanish , the languages of melody as I say.
It has always been Turkish, Turkish and Turkish only. I love the language.
Turkish
As an Italian I've never felt amazed by how it sounds, however the other languages in Italy are very cool, apart from how it sounds the history is also amazing. Italian was imposed over a multitude of languages to force the unification of Italy and the other languages are not taught anymore and are slowly dying out. Also, a lot of languages like these are not officially recognized by the State, like Veneto (considered dialect), which is an official language in Brazil (Talian language, a variation of Veneto due to immigration after the Napoleon thing in Italy), but still not recognized by Italy. The other Italic languages are way cooler I can barely speak my own since it's just taught in the family
German and P.I.E. For me.
German
Hindi sounds so beautiful to me
French, Japanese, Occidental Catalan, Korean, RP English
I listened to the Romanian version of be prepared from the lion king and it’s kinda sexy
Italian, Korean, and Thai for me
scottish gaelic, never see people talking about it enough
Ukrainian, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Korean. But I love all languages, each one is special.
Spanish, Italian, and Latin for me.
I like swedish. It has a happy accent, like skipping for talking. There's swedish from the Skargård and Nomi and the media, but there's swedish spoken by happy swedes.
Spanish and Farsi. Beautiful when spoken and sung.
Mainly the non-Germanic ones
Sami
Italian, just lovely how it rolls with the Vowels.
Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese
It depends on the objective: If I'm going to talk about love, I prefer French, if you need to flirt and be sensual, Spanish is a good choice, and Brazilian Portuguese for parties (you sing as you speak).
Japanese for me! Makes me fall in love with it every time I hear it. Whether its voice acting or real life situations, incredibly beautiful.
Persian, hands down
Italian, Vietnamese, Japanese, and French 💞
