This is a list of the major languages(In terms of influence) in the world. Now we all know languages vary in numerous dialects/accents so let's just say the "neutral" dialect of that language(whatever that means right?), in order to avoid complexities. The "neutral" dialect of a language is subjective in this case, up to your personal opinion. This is after all your personal opinion of the most beautiful sounding languages of the world. Thank You


PLEASE PICK YOUR TOP 3

I know French will win this one out, but to me it's tainted from that dreaded middle-aged French Canadian accent/cackle I am exposed to every day. I don't know why, it just drives me nuts.

Italian, Spanish for me.

Italian isn't in the poll.

French is the most overrated language in the world IMO.

Quebec French and French French sound completely different. The former drives me nuts as well.
