Re: The prettiest and ugliest language according to you
I will only say about my prettiest which may be deutsch.
I LOVE those consonant combos when combined with word agglutination, like in schifffahrt with 3 f's (not sure if this grammar still applies though).
PLUS Python for programming language

I coughed up a bit of phlegm and sneezed at the same time.
Then a scouser appeared and said "Not bad mate, how are you?"

Re: The prettiest and ugliest language according to you
It's fascinating how personal perceptions of languages can vary so widely! While everyone has their preferences, I find it intriguing that languages like Spanish and Serbian resonate so positively with you, alongside Greek and your mother tongue, Slovak. Language certainly carries cultural and emotional weight that can shape our perceptions. It's always interesting to hear different perspectives on linguistic beauty.

I hope I am not being rude on saying this, but this profile does seem like a bot posting AI generated messages. Check "his" or "its" other posts...markzily wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 11:20 am It's fascinating how personal perceptions of languages can vary so widely!

I get where you’re coming from language preferences are deeply personal. I agree that Spanish and Greek have a unique charm, while tastes for others can vary widely.

Re: The prettiest and ugliest language according to you
I have to agree. I only know three languages so those are the only I can compare. I can't say that any one of them is prettier or uglier than the others. They all have their sonic pros and cons.
I've listened to a lot of music in other languages. While singing styles vary dramatically, and some are prettier than others, I don't associate this with the underlying language.

Re: The prettiest and ugliest language according to you
A German woman told me the tale of how in her younger days she was eating snails at a festival and was struck by the differences in naming said gastropod: Snails in Anglo, schnecke in German. Or escargot, as pronounced by a beautiful French thing. Not much doubt, there.
