maybe. But I think Russian is much worse... nothing against Russians ofc... but if I hear a Russian talking it sounds kinda scary xD And much "harder" than German... in my point of view. I agree, German isn't the nicest-sounding language (and some dialects are terrible... but you have terrible dialects in every language) at all I mean it's pretty harsh or better it sounds harsh to people who doesn't know it very well... or perhaps also to people who learn it... but it's also a beautiful language, I'm convinced every language has its own beauty and I think the German-is-a-terrible-language attitude maybe has also something to do with the sometimes negative views on Germany in general... considering all the things that happened in the last century.... I just mean I highly doubt that German has the reputation of a harsh language when it comes to Goethe and Schiller... oh well I'm talking all kind of rubbish ignore that... I think French really is one of the most beautiful languages, I don't really know how to find the right words why... it's just a language that "flows" that you are listening to and it sounds beautiful and every word seems to match with the one before in a totally perfect melodic way... I hope you know what I mean. But I also think English is a beautiful language and it maybe sounds nicer than German too (ok, I have to be honest I have a weakness for some accents from the UK ^^)... But I guess your opinion what language is beautiful has also something to do what kind of languages you are used too... by the way... so many people say French is the most beautiful language... I wonder what the French would pick if you would answer them this question... what language they would think is the most beautiful (apart from their mother tongue)...

![]() and that's exactly my point
![]() Whether a language sounds nice or beautiful to someone or not also depends on what you are used too... so there might be even people (talking about non-native speakers of course) who think that German is highly beautiful ![]()

By the way, historically, my wife's family is from Germany. Although they no longer speak German, the essence of being German still flows through them. Quote:
Of course, English (and especially American English) is a little bit of everything (took words from many other languages), and has had waves of influence from other countries over the centuries. Do you know what part of the UK has the most interesting or best sounding accent to you? Its funny, but I really like Spanish as a language. It could be that Spanish would be the most beautiful language - if spoken with french emphasis and accent (I would love to hear what that would sound like). ![]()

about dialects - I obviously don't know all, especially because I'm from Northern Germany where you also have dialects but in my opinion they aren't so heavy like others e. g. in South Germany... I don't really think that there's a "nicest" accent... I guess "Standard" German is ok, so that kind of German you talk when you don't have any heavy dialect (of course everyone has a slight dialect... for example I never really thought I would have any but then I moved to an other federal state to do my training and my classmate asked if there is any dialect where I come from and I was like "well some people say that we for example tend to stretch the vowels" and my classmate was like "that's true" and I was pretty flabbergasted because I never really noticed that myself... and now sometimes I do... and this was a long story with no meaning at all)... Low German (the version I know from here) sounds quite nice but not a lot of people don't talk it anymore, it's more or less dying out... it's just nice, I don't know... an other dialect I like is the one people in and around Berlin talk... it's not "beautiful" but it's that kind of dialect that makes you like a person without really knowing him or her. It's a kind of blunt, direct, I-say-what-I-want but likeable dialect... The worst? Besides the Bavarian dialect it's basically the dialect people in Saxony talk... nothing against these people but this dialect is just hilarious. It sounds horrible and funny the same time. You can't take anyone serious who talks with his dialect. And you aren't even mean. It simply is like that. Quote:

and this was a long meaningless post. I guess I still won't delete it. I'm sorry.

![]() Jenny, I'm glad you didn't delete your post. It was interesting to me.
![]() Now I will say something that is truly uninteresting. The region of the USA I live in has a significant number of people of German ancestry. My mother's family traces its roots back to Pommern, which was part of Prussia at the time (around 1860), and now is part of Poland. http://pomeranianews.com/pomerania_map.html
