Languages that you think sound more beautiful than English?

Pretty self-explanatory, which languages sound superficially more beautiful than English other than English itself based on your opinion?

English with an American, British, or Australian accent that is.

Please be honest in your choices...

Spanish, Italian, Greek and Welsh

Basically all of them?

In my opinion: French, Italian, Spanish....

French, Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Arabic, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish.

Maybe portuguese. Hard to just your own language I guess, but I don't like most romance languages. In fact I don't like most languages I guess.

If you mean by pronunciation, I think Danish is the most melodic Germanic language (followed by English, though I may be slightly biased). I've always found French to sound beautiful, particularly when spoken by women, although I do not understand it.
In terms of vocabulary, I don't speak any language that is richer than English. Were I forced to pick another, I would probably go with German or Arabic - the two of which I honestly find quite cacophonic - because they are so vast. Russian would also follow closely. But this is really a question for Visceral, who to my knowledge is fluent in a lot of languages and could probably offer a more valid answer.

I definitely wouldn't consider Danish beautiful, it's a quite charming and fun language though.
It's kind of well known and joked about among both Swedes and Norwegians, saying things like they ''got a potato/porridge down their throat'' or that they're drunk.

The most beautiful European languages IMO (just going by sound/melody) is Icelandic, Faraoese, Swedish, French & Russian. There are often quite unpleasant regional dialects in most languages though.

I find both the standard arabic and levantine arabic to be beautiful languages. I find greek to be very cute language, lol.

I find the Russian language to be the most badass sounding language in the world.
