There is a language which a woman I used to work with spoke, it was all click's and pop's. With French, Spanish or German, you can pick up what is being said, but that was just bizarre. Maybe I think that was ugly because I had no idea what was being said and that's rude, it's probably a beautiful language if you can understand it

I wish I had some of these.

Most probably a language from South Africa.

for me the ugliest languages are russian, chinese or arabic, or perhaps africa's languages

Okay you guys. I haven't seen a single educated and scientificaly argumentative post on this thread. Except may be for some of those intellectually advanced individuals that accept the idea of the "ugliness in the ears of the beholder" or something like that. We have to cast a vote and try to explain why and then probably compile a list with points of ugliness. I think it is only fair to indicate for each voter what (s)he considers to be his/her mother tongue and what other languages (s)he speaks and/or studied.

I will start. Probably makes sense to keep the list to 5-10 languages max for each contributor.
My list of ugliest languages, not necessarily in that order:
1) Dutch ('cause G in Groningen sounds like throat cleaning)
2) Hebrew (similar to the above with all added weird consonants)
3) Arabic (a really weird inversed "a" sound that hurts my throat when I try to imitate it)
4) Vietnamese (try to say something. you'll sound like a duck)
5) Chinese (too many fricatives and the tones that that make things just unbearable)
6) Korean (weird consonant combinations like "chlrblrm" or at least that's how i hear it)
7) Swedish and Danish (playing a tape backwards, yeah baby, that Top Secret movie was right)

My native tongue is Russian. I speak English (no s**t!) and also learned/speak some Japanese and Italian.

Now here is a fresh idea. What languages do you think sound pleasant? Maybe someone should start a separate thread. Here are my two cents:
1) Albanian
2) Standard British English

Polish....I never get at least a word of what they say!!


Even if I can't have you ,You'll always have me.

English because it's like a mutt of all the European languages, followed closely by French because it gives me a headache to try and read it


give a man a match, he'll be warm for a second
set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life

English, easily.

I should say, the English bastardization(s) we Americans have created.

Spanish is by far the sexiest of all languages.


People often ask, "What is the world coming to?" - I simply ask, "What is the world?"

Welsh and arabic


If it's white, sticky and not yours dont touch it.

I don't like German and Russian. I found both very hard to learn But they just don't sound nice!

I hate glaswegian it sounds awfull. Sorry dont mean to affend anyone.

Arabic, it sounds as though everyone is trying to clear their throat. Yuugghhhh


A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

Arabic is hard to learn too!

My family are from Norway, and i found that hard to learn but not that hard to understand, when they wer talking Norwegian
