Most Beautiful Romances Languages in your opinion?

[Tobi]

You missed also Sardinian, that being the most conservative is also the closest to spoken vulgar Latin

That's true;

[Spyy]

If we are going to add all romance languages then also Galician, Mirandese, Asturian, Leonese, Castilian, Aragonese, Catalan, Valencian, Occitan , Gascon, Romansh, Ladin, Friulian, etc, endless list.

I think my poll is good then

I just realise I don't know what Romanian sounds like.

It depends ALOT by the region.If you speak standard romanian(the one you learn in school) you could quite have trouble understanding people from different region villages.

Standard one is the one from South,Bucharest.The people from R.Moldova speak romanian with alot of russian words and russian accent.Aromanians speak a romanian with some albanian/greek words and albanian/greek influences.

North:
-Ardelean
-Banatean(like in Timok too)
-Maramuresean
-Bukovinean
-crisean

East:
-Moldavian one

South:
-Muntenian
-Oltenian

There would be more but they are irrelevant.

Start from 1:23 with the ardelean one.

[Mens-Sarda]

That's true;

my Latin teacher at school as example always used a phrase that is nearly identical in Latin and Sardinian

Latin : pone mihi tres panes in avertula (put me three breads in the saddlebag)
Sardinian : pònemi tres panes in bèrtula

this is just one of the thousands Latinisms

[Iloko]

Quick intuition tells me Italian.

That actually sounded nice! I would have confused it with Portuguese if I didn't know better.

[Root]

Portuguese and Spanish.

Yes, it does sound like Portuguese, because it has slavic sonority.Actually portuguese sounds more slavic.A romanian can pronounce south-slavic languages like a native.
The difference between balkano-carphatic romance languages is that those above Jirecek received slavic influence, the ones below greek influence and evoluated accordingly.(because those were the main languages in the area)

Only the European Portuguese sounds slavic, if you can say that. You are hearing the palatalized sounds like 'sh' and 'ch' in places where Spanish might have a regular 's' or 't' sound or even "lhe" or "nhe". Also the sound of "je" like in the word "gente". Spanish speaker would read "gente" as "rrente" while an Portuguese native reads it as "jente" (in Galego "xente")

Nevertheless, Portuguese language doesn’t have slavic influences at all.

Yes, the European Portuguese.The Brazilian dialect sounds way more romance.
