List your opinion. Can be based off looks of the writing, sounds, anything. I'll start.

Writting:
>Chinese (Traditional Characters)
>Japanese
>Korean
>Finnish (Long words turn me on)

Sound:
>Japanese
>Finnish
>Norwegian
>Icelandic

Ugliest all around:
>Russian
>Albanian
>Turkish
>>>>>>ARABIC<<<<;<
>>
>>77882260
>Turkish
why do you think it's ugly?

It is a really soft language and due to the amount of suffixes a lot of it rhymes and flows so smoothly in sentences

imo it's the prettiest language

>>77882546
The way it sounds just doesn't sit with me.

japanese just makes for such a good language. it makes for better music, sexier etc for porn. English is just aids. may or may not be wapanese biased.

English is also a dirty language.. a reflection of it's culture.

Most hip hop songs can't be translated to Japanese. There are no equivalent vile expressions.

Beautiful languages
Latin.

It sounded (based on recreations) beautiful and so was its simple yet versatile and aesthetically pleasant writing system.

On the other hand we have ugly languages like Chinese or Japanese, in terms of both pronounciation and writing system.

>>77883004
>made up language.
As opposed to ...?

>>77883078
I think all of the vowel sounds make it a very feminine sounding language.

>>77883729
Japanese is a clusterfuck of a writing system but I think it *looks* pretty. So does Chinese when it's written like >>77882851 but computerized Chinese looks blocky to me.
>>
>>77883565
this doesn't even make sense semantically
>>
>>77883078
>English is just aids
English is an excellent language for literature and poetry. It has an enormous vocabulary and an incredible variety of sounds that give it an expressive power that I don't think Japanese can match, mostly because of how formulaic Japanese is (majority of adjectives have the same ending, every verb rhymes etc) and it's relative lack of sounds.
>>
>>77883919
how very anglocentric of you
>>
>>77883729

LATINVM EST

nah too blocky for me
>>
>>77883927
But the beauty of English is its lack of anglocentricity. "Anglish" is brutish, the combination of Germanic/Latinate is what gives English its unique character.
>>
>>77882260
Although i often heavily dislike arabs, i like the way Arabic sounds

id say english poetry is mostly bad. english novels, essays, nonfiction is much better though.

I think this is half of an exchange. The negro appears to be trying to communicate that by allowing a woman that is not his girlfriend (the recipient of the messages) to give him a blowjob, he averted a hypothetical situation that involved a car crash killing a family with children that would have invented the cure to cancer.

The first half could have been something like,
"Why didn't you just leave when you knew she was coming on to you?"
"Because then I would have had to drive home, and ..."

>>77884254
English has words both of Germanic (from the Saxons) and Latinate (from the French) origin. "Anglish" is a constructed language that is an attempt to rid the Latinate and other loan words to make a modern, purely Germanic version of English.

unsure if it counts as a spoken 'language' but singlish is probably the only one that is genuinely obnoxious/disgusting to hear

Spanish is by far the ugliest sounding language.

If you're so proud of being almanci why don't you do us all a favor and move back to turkey? Turkish is not anywhere close to being an aesthetically pleasing or sounding language but you are "muh heritage"ing too hard to even realize it. Arabic and Iranian are way better for MENA languages

Lots of vowels sounds primitive to English speakers.

I can't imagine how many guys did this back then with their european wives at home; traveled far from europe to south africa or southeast asia or whatever the fuck in some conquest and came across these non-white beta manlet males with sticks and these tiny brown girls and fucked the shit out of them. no wonder argentina and shit looks white now.

Limited phonology perhaps. Language literally sounds like ooga booga malala pa'alala because of how declension(?) is here, repeating syllables is how you get tenses.

good to bad:
japanese, pretty all around
french, for some reason I just like it
mandarin, not as good as canto for verse, goat at expressing anger
spanish, too fast, not as clear as japanese, find that annoying
korean, would be higher if they didn't whine so much
viet, it sounds worse than canto and they didn't produce anything worthwhile like hongkong did

Here's a good juxtaposition of japanese and mandarin that I remembered:
