What do you find the most musical language ?

[SVEN]

Totally random query; I have (I'm told) a very broad Scots accent. Not the Sir Sean Connery type, he was from Edinburgh. The grunting, monosyllabic Glasgow grunting type.
Spanish is, to me, the most flowing and musical speech I've ever heard. I'm sure that if any Heaven I imagine were to exist that would be the angelic language.
Any particular language/accent you particularly enjoy listening to, or even can't stand ?

I think Spanish and Italian are similarly 'musical'. Russian fascinates me. Especially how it's written. Their letters/ characters look like those old school space invader graphics to me. Really cool.

I actually hate my own accent and the way my voice sounds. It's originally a borough of London (not wanting to be specific.) Moving about hasn't seemed to change it. I cringe when my voice has been recorded and played back to me.

I'm amazed by how accents vary enormously within a relatively small area. I do find some languages and accents grating to listen to but, I wouldn't like to say which because, I'm sure they're thinking the same about mine! We can't exactly help how we speak- without enormous effort I imagine.

I've had a lot of crushes on male actors in large part to how their voice sounds. I'm not keen on the idea of posh people (I have a weird envious bias I guess) but, I do love a cultured, rich voice.

I also find some accents very calming. I remember my computer went nuts years ago. I was on the phone for ages with this lovely tech support, Irish woman. Asides from her patient and calm response, I was so grateful for her soothing accent. I also find that certain accents remind me of people I like so, that can make me like the accent. I find it kind of weird that there's English speakers with a Welsh/ Irish accent and then, there are also the Cymraeg, Gaeilge and Gaelic languages.

As much as I hate my own voice, I do find it comforting to hear people talk with a similar accent to mine. A sort of fond nostalgia for my origins.

I love Russian and the Portugal accent of Portuguese!

There was that one time when I wanted to hear German and Iranian songs, but to my chagrin discovered that... those countries simply don't have that many songs to begin with! So while it's not necessarily a case of "musical languages", but the Japanese and Korean cultures are insanely song-centric, so I guess that's what I'd be forced to listen to. Pyongyang has thousands of patriotic songs, Seoul has K-pop, and Japan has Matsune Hiku.

Scottish and Irish are my favorites. I'm not well versed enough to discern the different dialects. I also enjoy listening to Cajun. While not specifically a distinct language it is certainly a distinct dialect like no other.

Vietnamese, Hebrew and Arabic. Any of the Southwestern American Indian languages too (Hopi, Dine, etc).

My time in Asia led me to a newfound appreciation for the Tibeto-Burman language families (a friend of mine at one point in time considered the internal rounding of their rhotics [properly called retroflexion] to be "inelegant", the bastard), though some of the local dialects are a bit too nasally to me.

In terms of calligraphy, which can be "musical" in some sense, Nastaliq is particularly beautiful to my eye, in the way that sheet music might be considered beautiful in terms of the promise of musicality.

German but only when I sing under the shower.

(I hate most German music. I would not do that.)

 

[Ferdinand Bardamu]

Русский и Португальский

(I believe those are the correct terms. My Russian is terrible and the grammar is one hell of a bitch)

 

[Grog]

I really like the way the Japanese language sounds; it's very pretty. Same goes for French~

 

[bleeding_heart_show]

Gaelic. Here are two examples.

 

[Agon321]

Latin language. I really like the music in the style of choir, etc. in this language.

 

[FoxSauce]

Honestly I've never thought about it. For me maybe Japanesse and polish? Idk

As a Spanish speaker...why spanish- ?

No offense to anyone tho

 

[ImnotCTB]

Any language sounds musical to me when spoken softly with a feminine tone, but I like Russian the most when the tone contrasts with the T, B, and R's

 

[darksouls]

I like to hear all languages exept German
