    No, german belongs to the germanic languages :)

    Edit: ohh, I forgot to say, so it's English.

    Favouite languages t listen to? Probably Spanish. It flows like a river. I love the way French people speak Enlish, but that's accent raher than the language itself.

    There are some phrases from each of the languages I know that are extremely beautiful. So I'm sure that every language must have it's beauty. One phase I love in Thai though is that, when you're hungry, they say that your stomach is singing, rather than rumbling.

    well I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it just depends on who is talking.

    Nope, linguistically english is a germanic language, but it's got enough romance and latin and greek elements in there for you not to notice. The grammar is strictly germanic though (verbs following nouns, etc). It's cause of our eclectic mix here in England :D

    Japanese sounds more cute than beautiful to me, but I'm no linguist.

    so what defines a language?

    the grammer, or the origins of the words it utilizes?

    Russian seems to work well with poetry.

    Portuguese has a nice sound in the gentler music. I like to listen to some of the old Stan Getz albums with Astrud Gilberto singing some of the tunes in Portuguese.

    I want to learn many languages or even just snippets of many languages. I think I find them all so intriguing because I work with words.

    I do find English rather beautiful, though, because it's my native language and I can find a million ways to describe how beautiful something is to me using English words.

    But, of course, whether or not the language sounds beautiful always depends on who is talking and what they're saying. For example, it would take a very special person and a special language to make the phrase "there are worms in my shit" sound beautiful. I'm sure the right person and word usage can make it sound tasteful, though, haha.

    I’m partial to the Nostratic language, the mother tongue of all languages which was spoken more than 12,000 years ago, before god foolishly chose to punish the good people of babel by splintering the language families [​IMG]
