    I like the way Cornish is written, I've never heard it spoken though, I suppose spoken it would sound like Welsh.
    Such nice place names, Polperro, Penzance, Bryher, Truro, Poltreath (something like that), Kernow.

    English can be classy when spoken in a particular way, English in my view is very adaptable, it can either be hideously ugly, classy and sophisticated or "norm".

    Latin, of course.

    Portuguese, the best of the Romance offspring, comes in second. Why isn't Portuguese in the list? European Portuguese, of course. Not that I dislike my Brazilian Portuguese (I believe there's a greater difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese than between American and European English btw), but in matter of class the original form spoken in the land of Camões is better.

    French, for me is too much a feminine language. A woman speaking French is something incomparably sexy to me, but a man speaking French is a pain to my ears. Sounds retarded, even gay - and I am not the only one saying this.

    English can be classy in the sense that it's very easygoing. Depends on who speaks.

    Latin and Other (Portuguese) are my votes.
    Let these words be as sand in the cogwheels of reason,
    as a malign disturbance in the sustainment of universe,
    and let each quark of this degenerated microcosm
    stand as a citadel of cold and deliberate hatred.
    Let there come a glorious error in the patterns of the world.
    Let the tainted foundations of reality crumble
    and let us hope nothing comes afterwards,
    so the gravest of mistakes we all blindly wander in
    will finally come to an end.

    And Finnish? Its not classy, its rough-hewn like the granite bedrock we live on.
    Well I dunno. I think Finnish can sound very classy and pretty. Personally German´s not that bad either.

    The Slavic languages are a bit odd since I always have the impression their speakers struggle to speak the languages, even being native speakers. This is weird.

    Why the need for a vote? The only language which is elegant and fashionable is English. In terms of linguistics the world has great taste.

    French is still in the lead! Booya! In your face suckers!

    Mind you it's not that classy when spoken with my not so sexy Nova Scotia Acadian accent

    I'm really surprised Spanish has more votes than Italian. And I don't mean to say that Spanish is not a good language. I'm just surprised (though the Mexican mestizo version is some of the ugliest shit you'll ever hear leave a person's mouth). I also agree with Megrez about Portuguese. Beautiful language. Very light.
