"Particularly the one of Southern States."

There isn't ONE Southern accent-there are several.

French, Italian, and Spanish are all three beautiful to my ear. Don't tell the French that though.

As for the negative,
While Chinese culture is rich and fascinating, the language sounds horrible.

As for all these people saying Chinese is a bad sounding language I would have to counter that it depends on the dialect. I'm not particularly fond of the Beijing dialect. It's the hard "r" "r" placed on every word, maybe how a pirate would speak Chinese.

Shanghainese though sounds great, especially coming for a cute girl.

Its not so much the language itself but the speaker, dialect, and accent. I can speak Vietnamese but I hate the sound of the south Vietnamese accent. North has a lot of Z sounds, which makes it uniquely beautiful. I also speak Cantonese, which I think sound much better than Mandarin chinese. English is another good example, the British accent is just gorgeous to me; so refined, intelligent, and classy. The American accent is rough and dry with hard emphasis on the letter "R". This is coming from someone that has been formally educated in American English. There's trashy British as well so it all depends on the above mentioned factors.

You're not going to find anything but biased answers on here (incl. mine). I'm sure there southerners that love their redneck/chitlin grubbing twang.

I'm sorry, but when I hear ppl like David Beckham or Katie Price or Jodie Marsh speak, refined and classy is far from how I would describe their type of speech. Also, the type of accent that Jonathan Ross possesses, the kind where the r's come out as w's, doesn't sound particularly eloquent to me.
