What is your favorite language?

[hydroazuanacaine]

i could have sworn i saw this thread somewhere before and made a mental note to comeback to it when i had time. now i cannot find it anywhere. so if that thread does exist and i'm just stupider than the search engine, oops. was also torn on whether to this was SO or Words. i decided to try here.

so what's your favorite language? i guess was thinking your favorite spoken language other than your native tongue. but interpret the question as widely as you please. something like your favorite written language would be completely appropriate.

i'll start us off. my favorite spoken language is czech. since first seeing Loves of a Blonde (Lásky jedné plavovlásky). not my favorite written language--movie titles almost as mushy looking as street names in amsterdam. i do not know it nor ever plan to learn it. my only exposure is through films. an extremely pleasant sounding language. nothing too ridged or jarring about it, but it does not lack texture either--soft yet defined. "ano" as the affirmative? oh yes. best spoken by 1960s hana brejchová.


yours?

i am very intrigued by how harsh farsi sounds even when reading from ancient poetry.

My favorite language would have to be Hebrew. It's very harsh, but it can be amazing musical if spoken correctly.

Hebrew is rather profound...

French, Early Modern English, Saharan/Basque...Akkadian.

French I have learned a small amount of, more spanish then I picked up and know it was retained,
now though recalling it is difficult, near impossible but reading simple Frech poetry etc I found I can do
when not trying, and make sense of it

EME is I love because of um, how literal it is. Very formative.

Saharan/Basque because I think it was near prefect and now unheard of...S/B and Akkadian are the basis of language, and were practically musical to speak, I've gathered ~ the most ancient, still most pure written and spoken, and lest existent.

I like Latin, Farsi, Greek, Italian, and Japanese.

Probabky because of its kanji writing, Japanese is my favorite.
