    After listening to Occitan I think it deserves a (separate) mention on the list


    As for myself, there are a few I like quite a lot, notably French, Italian and scandinavian languages. Since I can only pick one here, I won't vote.

    Italians have a very recognizable intonation, which is often parodied. Sometimes the only fact of recognizing them here (apart from the extremely clear vowels) is that intonation.

    I don't think this accent is beautiful at all! Anyway I think he's exaggerating his accent (his accent is southern Italian, specifically Neapolitan). Northern Italians speak English more like this:

    In Italy the various regional accents (including intonation!) are strikingly different, and I'd be surprised if at least some of it didn't carry over when speaking foreign languages. So, I doubt there is one Italian intonation. As a matter of fact, the stereotypical intonation that foreigners use when imitating an Italian accent has always stroken me as particularly fake: it is clearly more or less based on southern Italian accents, but it doesn't exactly correspond to any of them, and is of course quite wrong for northern (or even central) speakers.
