    Norwegian sounds the coolest followed by strong Scots. I suppose German does sound quite good on it's own. It's a strong yet precise sounding language.

    Anglo saxon would probably have a similar strong intonation of Scots and Norsk but I am no language expert. Don't know about Gothic.

    Anglo-Saxon, is that more like Old English?

    German. I used to think Swedish... but I lived with some German girls and I grew to like it more when they were constantly using it.
