    Not a fan, to be honest.
    It sounds (to me) like Slavic with some Italian words.
    (I know they are not related though.)

    However, its interesting that I head different pronunciations of the ''R''. Or is it me ?

    as I have told in previous questions, I prefer ''balanced'' language. I mean those that the use of vowels and consontants are balanced. That's why I like more the Italian, the Spanish, and Greek.

    That's why I don't German,Russian,Arabic and many other languages.
    The more the balance, the more I like.

    I know they are not related.

    Strong R, many diphthogs and triphthogs (many consontants together) and that strange S accent, look like.

    I don't know about grammar or anything. As being NOT familiar with any, they have very common sounds. that's all

    I don't like how they pronounce the R that might be.
