    If you dislike the language as spoken in this video then I find your opinion respectable.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    5 Stages of Grief:

    Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
    Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
    Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
    Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
    Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

    You mean Brazilian Portuguese. It sounds like Portuguese spoken by someone stupid/slow.

    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...).

    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.
