For me :
- German - the most badass sounding
- English - the easiest to learn
- Icelandic - the most archaic sounding

Icelandic. It is the "purest" and the least influenced by Latin though Latin-derived words still exist like kaupa 'to buy' from Latin caupere. Even German der Kopf 'the head' comes from Latin cuppa. You mean to tell me they didn't have the concept of commerce or head (Dutch has het Hooft, so I know the latter at least isn't true) before they met a Romanized culture?

I get creeped out by Dutch. It sounds like it can't decide between German and Afrikaans.
