I studied French, Latin, Spanish and Portuguese (both Brazilian and European accents), and Brazilian Portuguese was the most beautiful.

Oh come on! More Romanian votes please... listen to some Romanian and tell me that it's not the coolest thing since sliced bread!

Vă rugăm să vot români! (Don't know if that's right. Close maybe?)

I love the Spanish language.

Other than that, I'd go with French.

I vote for Romanian, but I am afraid that I am biased, since that's my first language! I think this a great post, but the bottom line is that Romance languages are some of the most beautiful languages in the world. I feel very blessed to have been raised speaking Romanian and then learning French and Spanish...it is unbelievable the emotions and beauty their words can bring and how the picture they paint in ones mind cannot be recreated quite the same in English.

I picked Spanish because it's the only Roman langage (besides French of course) that I manage to speak, albeit not fluently (not at all), but I like the sound of it, especially in music (as Italian , even Portuguese music are not that nice in my book, and Romanian even downright ugly).

Maybe... but I KNOW it would be easier if we went back to Old English
