Least attractive-sounding European language

[Wulfhere]

This is a very difficult one, because there are so many of them to choose from. Common wisdom would say German, but I personally think French is awful.

You are very wrong German can sound very beautiful at times but yes it is a guttural language. And there is no way the French language is an ugly sounding language. It is very rich and beautiful given the great diversity it draws on.

Sicilian.

[GeistFaust]

I would say a lot of the Slavic countries sound disgusting. Russian does sound cool though. I think that all the languages in western Europe are very nice sounding.

[Peasant]

English when spoken by a Scot.

[Rosenrot]

German and french are beautiful languages.
I don't like the Hungary dialect, it's to wierd.

No offence to anyone, but from my latin prospective, also most of the germanic laguages (like aussie or NZ english) and some of the slavic have a "disgusting" and crude sound.

IMHO.

[Comte Arnau]

Dutch. I like the people, but can't help finding the language little attractive from a phonological POV.


I don't like the Hungary dialect, it's to wierd.

Hungarian is a language.

[Efim45]

Finnish sounds strange. German is a mighty fine language.

Finnish and German.

[GeistFaust]

Finnish and German.

That is what a Serb says look at your language and surrounding languages I am sure the fairest things would look foul if nature actually responded to a language. German is one of the profoundest languages and given all its coarseness and roughness I am sure that its almost poetical and musical qualities penetrate through its the rather cold and harsh sounding nature of the language when spoken. I have studied linguistics and personally I have to agree with Heidegger when he says all languages merely speak of Being while German speaks Being it takes a certain individual to appreciate its high quality and great beauty.

[Äike]

Russian, I hear it daily spoken by immigrants and it doesn't sound nice at all. Overall, the Slavic languages don't sound good, I guess.

[Magister Eckhart]

Yiddish.

[Treffie]

The north west Wales dialect of Welsh easily. Sounds like they're chewing on a dog's bollock.

[Blossom]

I'm sorry for this one, but I dont like balkanic-slavic languages. Omg. I cant understand a shiiz and sounds so damn difficult and annoying and pretty agressive and sometimes even sad.

[Loddfafner]

I have to agree about Dutch with its harsh, sputtering sounds. Russian is a close second. Its diphthongs make every utterance sound like a hostile, condescending sneer.

[Turkophagos]

German is the most barbaric one, even their love songs sound like military marches:

Greek, Finnish and Latin (as a whole) are the most attractive-sounding languages. The more vowels, the better.

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

Danish, notoriously, sounds like vomiting.
I'm not fond of Slavic languages, too.
Dutch is harsh but funny, I wouldn't say it's the sweetest or the most elegant but I can't really say it's horrible. Same for Scots.
Corsican is probably the European language (or dialect) which I find subjectively ugliest. (Among those that I've heard, of course).

I disagree with my fellow Italians who dislike Sicilian. It's a noble language and it can be very, very attractive. Calabrese sounds like Sicilian with massive aspiration on every consonant, and I agree it's not as pretty. I don't love Neapolitan. But the ugliest dialects of Italy are generally those found on the Eastern coast (Romagnolo, Marchigiano, Abruzzese, Pugliese...).

[Sikeliot]

Corsican is probably the European language (or dialect) which I find subjectively ugliest. (Among those that I've heard, of course).


This surprises me. Corsican is the language outside of Italy that is the closest (at least lexically) to standard Italian. I've seen Corsican written and it looks pretty close when you compare them side by side.

[Wanderlust]

While I absolutely adore my native language,I've been told by many who don't that they don't find it attractive-sounding at all.It's also probably one of the very few languages that you can't understand a word if you don't speak it.

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

This surprises me. Corsican is the language outside of Italy that is the closest (at least lexically) to standard Italian. I've seen Corsican written and it looks pretty close when you compare them side by side.

Yes, it's the closest to standard Italian as it is more or less a dialect of Tuscan. But its pronunciation has some peculiarities that make it sound, uhm, debased, coarse and idle at the same time (not a very scientific or useful descriptions; I can't express it very well even in my own language, but it's a specific feeling. It almost sounds like Tuscan with a Southern Italian accent. Or so it does when I listen to it on the web; I've been to Corse, but heard mostly French from the locals).

[Aces High]

Dutch.

It sounds like they are speaking English whilst drunk with a mouth full of marbles.

[Sikeliot]

After thinking about it, I'm gonna go with Brazilian Portuguese for this even though it's not technically "European" but you get the point. The drawn out vowel sounds make the one speaking sound slow/retarded.

[Comte Arnau]

While I absolutely adore my native language,I've been told by many who don't that they don't find it attractive-sounding at all.It's also probably one of the very few languages that you can't understand a word if you don't speak it.

Greek? Come on, if there's something every European language has got, that's words of Greek origin: photography, xenophobia, anthropology, alphabet, microscope, astronomy, pterodactyl, democracy, zoophilia, psychiatrist, hippopotamus... ;)

I cannot believe that I am the only person who finds Yiddish to be the most annoying language spoken in Europe.

[Comte Arnau]

Wow, nobody criticize italian language!

It is not usual to do it, I agree. I've only known one person who disliked it. He used to say he liked studying 'hard-sounding' languages such as German or Basque instead of Italian and French, which he considered gay-sounding.

To me, the virtue and the defect of Italian lies on the very same thing: its clarity.

[Rouxinol]

After Spaniards condemning their copatriots here,!!! its Portuguese turn to condemn their language.!!!!

I have nothing against it, but I understand that the accent of Brazilian Portuguese might turn to sound rather annoying to a Portuguese speaker because of its musicality - and they've got a heap of strange words in their lexicon which sound way too exotic to a Portuguese ear. I find it interesting that some European descended and law-abiding Brazilians who've come to live here even make the effort to speak with the Portuguese accent, but I think that might be related to the crime ridden immigrants we get here straight out of the Brazilian favelas, so they might want to distance themselves of those fellow countrymen of them.

I know that technically Corsican is a Central Italian language/dialect but oddly it almost sounds like Sicilian to me with all those words ending in -u.

By the way, Romagnolo doesn't sound bad! :thumb001:

I don't dislike it but I think it's overrated. French sounds better in my opinion.

[billErobreren]

German is one sexy language as are Dutch, Finnish, Spanish, Icelandic & Swedish to my ears, though I'm not to fond of French, Polish, Italian, Serbian *shivers* or Portuguese(sounds like French but gives me a headache quicker), I just can't put my finger on it, sorry but this is my case, so my winner is Serbian

I will - it's not bad but has an annoying theme to it.

Lol, Wulfie will probably speak Brummie English, it along with Scouse is famous for being two of the most shockingly awful dialects of English. :D
Chavspeak is bad, but some of the North East dialects, Cumbrian and South East English are quite good.

[The Ripper]

There are many English dialects I find interesting and pleasing to hear, don't get me wrong. :) Irish accents are awesome. :D

As for other, less pleasing languages, Danish comes to mind. I can read written Danish, but I often fail to see the correlation between what is written and what is spoken. It is as if the Danes swallow half their syllables (sometimes seemingly choking on them). This is of course an age old theme in Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, the peculiarity of the Danish language. ;)

I don't find Romance languages too appealing, especially Italian. The latter sounds like a verbal emotional outburst. :p

Frankly, I think German/Dutch accents are aesthetically pleasing in general. It's probably why I dislike Yiddish so much. Yiddish is in the very pit of Uncanny Valley for a German/Dutch speaker-- it is to Germanic languages what the Frankenstein monster is to human beings: built from butchered parts and given life by an unnatural process for less-than-kosher purposes.


Many people dislike this accent:

WCeC-Rx3SB0

I think it's more his voice than his accent that's the problem here. That's a fairly standard Southern Virginia accent on a squeaky, nasal voice.

Compare to the accent affected by Stephen Lang:

He doesn't do a perfect job of faking it, but it makes my point I think.

[Treffie]

This (http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/rhagor/dialect/caernarfon/) is a seriously ugly dialect. :D

[Amapola]

I like Dutch :O

About italian, I dislike the intonation...
I hate Romanian, especially the intonation, again, which sounds agressive.
About Portuguese, I dislike the fast harsh SHH sound in coloquial speech, but I love the written form and especially in songs.
I dislike the nasality of Catalan.
French... hmm too GUGoGUOG; but nice in songs, especially by girls.
There are many intonations of Castilian I dislike too

But don't really dislike those languages, I just comment on them because they are quite familiar to me.

In general Romance languages are my favourite and Slavic and German languages the ones I find less appealing. Although I love English, and like Dutch. Even perhaps German to some extent.

[alzo zero]

There are tens of Italian intonations, so I'm not sure to which one you guys are always referring to. Maybe the one in the micro-wave pizza commercials... :confused:

Right. Oudegracht. I know the old canal very well as I am living just outside Utrecht. (in Amersfoort to be more precise). Well.. one thing about the central Netherlands and also the West: it is not so well known for using the most beautiful forms of the Dutch language. That honour goes to the South.

Well, there are a few languages whose sound I don't consider beautiful but I think if I tell it I may somewhat hurt somebody. Every language seems the most beautiful to it's native speaker: Chinese thinks it's Chinese and Ket thinks it's Ket and etc.That's obvious.
But ok, if you want me to say something generally the beauty of other languages by bigger groups in Europe perhaps I'd say - 1. Romance ones 2. Slavic ones and 3. Germanic ones.

The only time I've heard a spoken Portuguese that sounded nice was from a Galician woman who, as I was told, spoke it grammatically correct (as she's a lawyer working in Portugal) but made no efforts to reproduce the sounds that are characteristical to the Portuguese.

Catalan, as spoken in its eastern variance, sounds awful to my ears. The western variance changes completely.

[Sicilianu101]

I don't like how French, German, Russian, and Hungarian sound.
I also don't care very much for Dutch or English (although maybe English is the best sounding of the Germanic language family).

I don't know why people are saying Portuguese. Portuguese is a beautiful language. I also like Spanish, Greek, Italian, Central, Southern Italian & Sicilian languages. Although Neapolitan can be pretty harsh-sounding sometimes, it is good for singing.
Sicilian through the Sicilian School of Poetry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_school) (which used a Latinized version of the Sicilian language) was very influential for the Tuscan poets (such as Dante Alighieri) and so was an influence to the Italian language. Can Milanese and Venetians say this? :lol:
In my opinion Venetian which sometimes sounds a little Iberian is better sounding than Milanese which sounds like someone speaking Italian who can't pronounce the vowels at the end of words (which is one of the best features of Italian) and they pronounce their r's like the French..

Nah, if there is a God, He can't allow languages with voiceless velar fricatives in Paradise. That sound belongs to Mordor. :laugh:

[Absinthe]

Hm... now that's not a nice thing to say but I cannot get used to Slavic languages. Even heard some really nice Belarusian, Ukrainian, etc songs from time to time but the language just kills it for me (example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHDOHp1yZmo))... :(

[Mercury]

I hate how Russian sounds.

[hajduk]

Serbian and Russian are my favourites. My least favourite is Hungarian, although i like the people

[Östsvensk]

I have always had a hatred for music in French. But when hearing languages being spoken, I don't really react on any European languages. The only ones I do are Somali and Semitic languages.

All foreign languages are fundamentally ugly because they involve someone, even an apparently intelligent Northern European, opening his mouth and coming out with a huge string of meaningless gibberish.

Hey fuck you nigger :thumb001: Your language is influenced a lot by that gibberish. You've just used a lot Latin words in your "gibberish". Language, fundamental, involve, apparent, intelligent, etc etc.

Gibberish that an apparently intelligent person who could speak more than just his own language would be able to understand.

[Gamera]

Accent depends a lot in making a language uglier or prettier.

I think Argentine spanish sounds good, so does Mexican, some Peninsular variants (Northern ones basically), Peruvian, etc... But Chileans sound pretty ugly and so do Caribbean variants. Caribbean sounds agolologogo-wa, and Chilean, I'm not even going to describe but I'm going to say it sounds worse.

A perfect example of a high class Peruvian accent (Jaime Bayly), interviewing one of our local comedians playing Bachelet, this is how we make fun of Chilean accent here if you hear his imitation

Which Portuguese?

Portugal's Portuguese is an absolutely obscure language that sounds eerily Slavic. I always confuse it with Polish. How did they manage to create a language so extravagantly different phonetically from their Castillian cousins is mindbogglingi

On the other hand Brazilian Portuguese allows me to guess a few words. It sounds rather like dead drunken Italian.

You, the French, had something to do with that. They copied your r, for instance. :laugh:

[Don]

Yes! But only (is nice) when Brasilians speak it - is veeeeeeery sweet and sexy, but in Poertugal it sound us luike just a lot of oosh oosh and no vowels at all. A very closed heavy accent too.

Old Portuguese had the same distinction of simple and double r typical of the Romance languages (Spanish, Catalan, Italian... which distinguish a flap from a trill). But in modern times upper classes in Lisbon copied the French way and changed the trill for a fricative uvular. It's not exactly as the French one, but very close.

Obviously the sound exists in the contexts where there was a trill (rr sound). The flap is still a flap, it's not as if every r in Portuguese sounds à la French.

I know there are still some areas in Portugal that keep the trill, but as far as I know, they're not regarded as standard.

Portuguese from Portugal is Horrible like American English


German, Turkish and Portuguese, not necessarily in that order.


For me the horriblest language are Portuguese (except when Brasilians speak it - then is beutifull!) and maybe Dutch.


The only time I've heard a spoken Portuguese that sounded nice was from a Galician woman who, as I was told, spoke it grammatically correct (as she's a lawyer working in Portugal) but made no efforts to reproduce the sounds that are characteristical to the Portuguese.



Don't worry folks... the feeling of most people here is pretty much mutual regarding your languages :thumb001:

Interesting post but it got me curious. Where did you read about Lisbon people copying the french R? Because i never heard about it, but you may very well be right.
Also, i say the R kind of in that way. It probably sounds more like a J in spanish. And basically my R and RR sound the same but.... i'm not from Lisbon and neither are my parents or my grandparents. How do you explain that? :p

It's not weird :P I think that Spanish is the least attractive when a woman speaks but attractive when a guy speaks. When a girl speaks Spanish it kindof sounds like a chicken to me. Idk it's just ugly when a girl speaks.

Also Dutch is a really ugly language after seeing some of these videos

It's simple, they talk slower and open their vowels like you do in Italy.

Yeah, you know, there is also a Venetian dialect, spoked in Brasil. The majority of Italians who have emigrated to Brasil are Venetians, I guess, there is also a lot of Venetians in Marseilles (I have some Venetian ancestry).

I think Provençal and Nissart are also very close to Italian, a lot of our words come from Tuscan, Corsican, Piemontese, Napolitan, Sicilian, Ligurian and Venetian, and Nissard is a sort of Italianised Provençal.

Aaah, excellent, thanks for theses videos! It's the first time I hear a long thing about Piemontese, and I think that it's look like a lot Provençal : for exemple, the word "Moussu", is also used in Provençal, and the accent look like a lot our! Study Gallo-Italics languages (or Italics and Italians languages in general) is very hard I think, because there is not a lot of documents in French, there is some books about Corsican, and a lot about Tuscan/Standart Italian, but books about any Gallo-Italic/Venetians languages, about Furlan (who is Rheto-Roman) or about Napolitan, Sicilian or Sard doesn't exist at all in French territories... :/

It also depends on who speaks a language. For example, the English of young American girls sounds like croaking (low-pitch tone). At the same time, the English of my acquaintance from Chattanooga (she is about 55 now, I've already mentioned the family in the other thread) is charming and melodious, nothing to do with this croaking.

[superhorn]

German can sound unpleasant to some people, but it depends on the dialect, or the region of Germany . Austrian German sounds very different. It's soft and lilting, very pleasing to my ear at least .
The uvular r's of northern Germany sound a bit annoying to me,though .
Southern Germans tend to pronounce it more like the Castillian rolled r .
Adolf Hitler always rolled his rs the southern German way, as you can hear in his speeches . He was an Austrian, though .

[special]

geordie, scottish english, german, gaelic languages..basically all expect Italian and French

Some may sound weird at first, some may be annoying sometimes, and sometimes beautiful.


After thinking about it, I'm gonna go with Brazilian Portuguese for this even though it's not technically "European" but you get the point. The drawn out vowel sounds make the one speaking sound slow/retarded.
It's funny because many people prefer Brazilian Portuguese because it sounds more musical, while European Portuguese is more monotonic.


Portuguese from Portugal is Horrible like American English
I think they're both sound monotonic. (General American and Standard European Portuguese)
Brazilian Portuguese and British English are the opposite.


I don't know ... it sounds classy and sexy to my ears.

You change vowel pronunciation and drop a lot of consonants.

English - lovely
Portuguese - it's my mother tongue, sounds fine
Italian - it's ok, Italian is one of those languages in which I don't find anything weird about it
Spanish - the video doesn't work any more, but generally Spanish is much like Italian. I usually prefer Spanish since it's more understandable to me
German and Turkish - I don't understand anything, I won't say they're ugly, they just don't have any meaning to me. Turkish sounds even weirder since I don't usually hear it.

[Sikeliot]

Turkish to me sounds like an East Asian language, like Japanese or something.

[Porpolita]

I don't like the sound of French or Dutch.

My favourites to listen to are Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Russian, Greek, Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic.

[KawaiiKawaii]

Portuguese and Swiss German dialects. They're just horrible to listen to, both in their own, disgusting way. Maybe Dutch and Albanian too.

As for French accents, south French accents are terrible, so is the accent of Vaud. When I hear the accent of Marseilles, I imagine wankers. When I hear the Vaudois accent, I imagine low IQ people.

You're right, but as an Italian speaker who doesn't properly speak neither French nor Portuguese, I do find the phonetic reductions of European Portuguese more puzzling than the French ones. I think it's possibly a matter of synchrony vs diachrony: true, historically French has dropped a lot of vowels and consonants, but what are left today are more or less clearly enunciated. Of course I refer to phonemes, not graphemes: French orthography, like the English one, is notoriously so conservative that one doesn't even expect it to match the current pronunciation at all; it is generally known that it reflects a centuries-old state of things.

(Euro) Portuguese, OTOH, shows a more synchronic kind of reduction, where sounds that in principle are there at the phonemic level (and in fact are pronounced in Brazilian Portuguese) get all horribly slurred together or semi-devoiced, confusing the listener who's anticipating a three-syllable word and hears a monosyllabic one instead. Plus, the written form of words is generally similar to Spanish, and one expects to hear it pronounced more or less alike; thus, the distance between orthography and pronunciation is more shocking because it isn't expected as in French.

[Eventhorizon]

I don't believe that you can judge a language solely on the sound of it , but
I have heard all the European Languages before so here is my opinion :
French - The most overrated language , it just doesn't sound interesting to me
Dutch - Really harsh and weird sounding
German - Something about it is a little engrossing and attractive in my opinion
Italian - Very musical
Spanish - Musical and fast , for some reason I always feel like they talk way too fast
Danish - mumbly and they have a tendency to run their words together more than everyone else , like American English x 10
Swedish and Norwegian - Very beautiful , and there is a sing songy attribute to them , the intonation is just charming
Icelandic - Exotic , sounds like an ancient language , Vikingy - I like it but its super hard to learn

:)

[Eventhorizon]

The dutch are my favourite northerns but their language is a curse.
Seeing some angel looking girl opening her mouth and start talking like the exorcist girl is always a weird experience for me
