I hate -SH- sounds in Mandarin.

Yes! Shershersher, lol. I don't mean to mock but it seems very out of place in comparison to other sounds in the language. Very strange to the un_trained ear. Japanese and Korean are not tonal languages and have many consonants which are familiar to English speakers, so they should sound much nicer compared to the tonal languages in China and SE Asia.
I think Mongolian Manchu language influenced Korean. Hence it doesn't have tonal tendency like Chinese. Linguists can't prove that Korean should be included into Altaic family but agglutinative grammar of Mongolian and Korean languages indicates that there was interaction.
Kusunda language of Nepal, only 3 speakers left. It is a language isolate that doesn't belong in any known language family.
