A couple of examples where languages work together in a fine way.

Russian and French (from 1:05)
UMA2RMAH & Patricia Kaas -

Spanish and Portuguese (from 0:44) (Brazilian I suppose)
OMARA PORTUONDO - O QUE SERA - YouTube

And how you can say the same thing in two different languages

French
Dalida & Alain Delon Paroles paroles - YouTube

Italian (well, a parody perhaps, but sounds great) [youtube]

I've believed for years that Irish (Irish Gaelic) is the most beautiful language I've ever heard, spoken or sung.

Certainly not Korean. When my dad and my grandmother talk, it sounds like barking dogs.

Some variants of Wu Chinese

Like Suzhounese

For some reason Shanghainese is mutually unintellgible but does not sound as good.

My favorite, hands down, that I find irresistible is Polish.

Then German, Irish, & French.

Oh wow.

I posted here ages ago that the most beautiful sounding languages were any of the Latin based ones (IMO). I still love Romance languages, but after hearing more and more of Japanese over the last 2 years (can't believe I didn't pay attention to it in the first place!) it has become the most beautiful to me, and my favorite. I finally began studying with commitment at the beginning of this year. Learning how to read and write is fun--at least for Kana. It'll take all my life to get a good hold of Kanji though XD. Also, the grammar is indeed tough, but still a gorgeous language that I plan to know well, nonetheless.

But yea, I just came by to update on Which language I think is most beautiful.

So basically you son't like England's English...It's non-rhotic everywhere except in the West Country.

It varies a lot. French indeed has a lot of vowels, but Spanish has only 5.
