Well?
Mine's definitely Portuguese - especially Brasileiro. Why do I like Portuguese? It sounds cool and interesting. It looks very similar to Spanish but sounds nothing like it really.
My least favorite, I'm sorry to say, is Spanish. It's harsh, loud, fast, damned annoying. I hate it how I think that because I have a Spanish heritage (great, great grandmother) and it'd be nice to celebrate it, but Spanish absolutely sucks. Functional, useful only. Nothing aesthetical going for it whatsoever. One can really hear the Arabic influence in Spanish and I suspect that's the problem. |
I LOVE BRAZILIAN-PORTUGUESE. Most beautiful language by far.
Regarding Spanish.. I don't like Spain Spanish at all.. but I do like South American Spanish - particularly Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Bolivian in the Andes. Mostly because its so slow, phonetic and a nice melodic sound to it. It sounds really different from region to region.]
I like Italian as it sounds imbetween Portuguese and Spanish to my non-Italian oriented ears.
French sounds quite a bit different and its stigma as a sexy language kinda rubs me the opposite - sounds pretensious instead. |

mi piace molto l'italiano, ma no parlo molto bene :(
i agree with spin about spanish being functional, and since i speak it its nothing special to me. I would however argue that there are degrees of it's annoyingness. andean and north south american spanish is really nice, especially how they elongate vowels (ayyyy...que liiiiiindo.).
the absolutely most horrendous spanish is
1) PR
2) Cuban
3) dominican
These three completely butcher the spanish language and make it extremely ugly, fumbled, and masculine. Has anyone heard an older cuban woman talk? It's hideous.
4) argentinian. You're not Italian, che, don't speak with an accent as if you were.
i think brazilian portuguese sucks, but maybe ive just heard way too many bad samba songs. i hate the 'zeeeeeee' sound. |

I think the Spain spanish with the lisp is the worst! Not sure what brand it is, or if it is all of them. Though I don't have a lot of experience with either PR or dominican. Cuban drives me a little 'round the bend-there's an S in there people!

I love Italian, ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated with all things Italian, the culture, the people and the language, studied it for a year at university but abandoned it in favour of German  like how it sounds especially when it's been spoken by an Italian Stallion
Romanian is cool too, when I did my TESOL we learned some Romanian as part of our unknown natural language assignment, its pretty cool and I like how it sounds. Had a Romanian roomate once though we didn't communicat much. As a side note that "numa numa" song someone was talking about on another thread is originally Romanian, I know because my roomate used to dance around the room every time it came on the radio and repeatedly tell me that it was in Romanian  |

i understand about the daffy duck lisp, but for south americans, spanish spanish is what UK english is to americans....refined and superior.
caribbean spanish is the worst. no enunciation, harsh, no 'r' sounds. yuck.
it's the jersey accent of latinos. listen to some PR merengue or reggeaton and you'll see what I mean.
"oyeh mami, que lica te veh..."....YUCK! CHUSMA! |

| I'm suprised that nobody has yet mentioned the romantic seductive sounds of Australian English. Is there any woman alive who can resist succumbing to the call of "Oi!! show us ya *beep* ya bloody scrubber!!" ? |

| It's a toss up between Swedish and Cornish. A mixture of the two would have girls peeing their pants. |

I'm going with Latin. The least vulgar of the bunch to be sure.
I like French quite a bit too, and it's the only one I really know. Plus French poetry simply cannot be beat (except maybe by English poetry)... |

French, because it's the only one I can understand. I've studied it and lived in French speaking countries. So I adore it. But as a kid I liked Italian, because it was the language of classical music, and I love opera. Spanish is perhaps the most beautiful language of all for singing in though.
And let's not forget the original Romance language: Latin. I love its tradition and its rules and grammar. I love singing old Latin choral classics. And I fancy any man who knows how to sneak a line or two of it into a conversation.  |
