Spanish is the most beautiful of all languages

Of course I have a bias, but in my opinion, Spanish is far and away the most pleasing to the ears. It just rolls of the tounge in such an elegant, romantic fashion.

1. Spanish
2. Portuguese
3. Italian
4. French

The four languages ranked in order above, are the prettiest in the world.

No doubt you will expect this response, but have you had the opportunity to hear every single language in the world?

I can't claim that I have heard the languages of the most remote parts of the world, no. But perhaps I should rephrase. Out of all the major tounges of the world, Spanish is definitely my favorite.

why do people insist in trying to open the same lines of debate over and over and over again (language y versus language x, the most beautiful language is my language etc etc)??!!

I will admit Spanish does sound quite pleasing to the ear, although I understand very little. Italian too. Bizarrely I do think Portuguese sounds quite like Russian despite being very closely related to Spanish. I have heard others say this too. I find French beautiful in a way, although a little too intense somehow.

Surely it can all depends on accent as well though. To me some English dialects/English accents sound beautiful and others less so. I'm sure it's all a matter of opinion at the end of the day.

Oops, that should read 'can all depend'.

European portuguese sounds quite similar to Russian or other east european languages, but brazilian portuguese doesn't.

Yes, it does. It is what most people say.

Portuguese and French sound very much alike.

a.p.a.m.--that struck me as being true, as well. I think its all the nasal vowels.

It depends on the speaker. I've heard beautiful and awful sounding spanish.

Or it depends of your mother language. No French speaker will say it sounds like French and no slavic spaker will say it sounds slavic. So, what does it sound like? Portuguese.

Dutch is beautiful.

Those people who don't have any interest in Latin America, actually needn't try to learn Spanish, Spain is not the powerful nation in Europe. UK, Germany, France, Italy, are all better than Spain in many respects.

Spanish is simply the best.

I really don't understand why so many people chose Spanish as their 2nd language, just because Hispanic world has about 400 million population?
