Prettiest is Spanish, Jamaican English, Italian, Swedish, Thai (more cute than beautiful but I still love the sound of it), and Zulu. Spanish is particularly beautiful imo, the word for rainfall is "pluviosidad". Even disgrace sounds good in Spanish, "verguenza".
As someone who's parents are Haitian and speak Haitian Creole i agree 100%

Belarusian is mutually intelligible with Russian and Ukrainian, none of which are mutually intelligible Bulgarian. Common logic here escapes you. Hell as a personal (and accurate...) opinion of mine Bulgarian isn't even slavic, long story...

I am from Belarus. Nobody here speaks 'belarussian' language. People on Belarus speak russian.

Armenian language has nothing common with Hebrew.
