Bosnian / Croatian is really pretty... People talk so smoothly and the pace of the language is just wow... and a lot of songs (if you find someone to explain them to you) have lyrics that are just beautiful. they could make you cry :-)

Agree. Hearing Bosnian changed my opinion of the Slavic languages. Bosnian is one of the most beautiful sounding languages I've ever heard.

It was freaky weird - but I instantly recognized it as Lenape.

I suppose this is all subjective and depends on your culture or what words/sounds are associated with prettiness or whatever. Putting that aside though I think Irish Gaelic and some Polynesian languages are somewhat pretty.

I found this language very interesting. Without googling it, which country you would associate it with? I was thinking it's some Arabic or Berber, but I was quite surprised...
