Top 10 Best Sounding Languages

At the moment of writing this, Italian and French were at the top of this list, which is great because those were the last two candidates I had to choose from for my next language. French sounds good and is very useful, as it's the second most spoken second language. It opens up a lot of options if you're a traveler.

Regardless of all this, I picked Italian. The energetic and romantic flow of the language was too hard to resist. I traveled around Europe for two months, and you just have to listen to a group of Italians for five minutes to want to join in! Since I already speak English and Spanish, I can afford to pick a "less useful" language.

As someone born in northern Mexico and a native Spanish speaker who is also fluent in American English, I now live in France and can safely say that French is the most gorgeous language. It is melodic, fluid, and simply amazing. While Italian is more similar to Spanish and Portuguese in terms of shared sounds, spoken French has a unique beauty.

The phonetics of all its letters are more beautiful. Listening to music in French is an amazing experience. Even the worst mainstream hip-hop song sounds incredible because of the language. No other language can transform mediocre wordplay into beautiful music the way French does.

I was always curious and eager about learning this beautiful language. It first appealed to me because I didn't understand it when I heard Spanish songs in the past. I speak French, English, Arabic, Armenian, and Spanish (although I am still not fluent in Spanish yet), and I am from Canada.

Spanish is music to my ears. It sounds great and is so romantic. Anyone who hears a good song in Spanish will love the language.

The love songs in Spanish will make you see how romantic the language is and make you love it even more. I would easily trade my Armenian and Arabic skills just to be fluent in Spanish. It's an easy language to learn, especially if you already know French, because both languages have similar grammar and words that are almost the same.

As someone who is Chinese and has interacted with Koreans and Japanese, I think Japanese and Korean definitely sound way better than Chinese. But I'd put Japanese slightly above.

Japanese just sounds pleasant for some reason, especially when it comes to voice acting. Japanese is the most pleasant and poetic. I know that some of the girls can have really annoying high-pitched voices, but most of those annoying voices have been left behind in past voice acting.

It's cool that every character they write has meaning, although the same could be said for Chinese or Korean. Some say it's because it's a new language and we're just convincing ourselves, but I've been listening to it since I was a toddler.

I've also listened to all sorts of languages, yet I still think Japanese is the best. It's hard to express why I like it so much, but I just love it. Surely, there are many others who understand me.

Portuguese is awesome, but the Portuguese from Europe and Africa doesn't sound as good as the Portuguese from Brazil. It is totally different from any other kind of Portuguese spoken worldwide. This is a consequence of the influence that Brazilian Portuguese has received from many other languages, such as Italian, Spanish, German, languages of Brazilian Indigenous peoples, and languages brought from Africa by enslaved individuals.

This is what has made Brazilian Portuguese the beautiful language that it is today. Brazilian Portuguese is amazing.

Many people say Arabic is very harsh, but I think that's because they don't know the language, which makes them more unfamiliar with it, or they are learning the standard Arabic dialect, which could come across as harsh.

However, other dialects of Arabic are very beautiful and soothing, especially Egyptian, which has a very urban accent that sounds pleasing, and Lebanese, which is very calming and smooth.

Arabic also looks so beautiful. The writing is so artistic and intricate. Additionally, Arabic music is lovely. It's so powerful and has a wide range of pitches that sound magical.

I think Arabic should be 2nd, with Spanish being first (or the other way around), and French would follow them by being placed 3rd.

The way English is structured is simply amazing. Due to its extensive vocabulary, you can express yourself in a sophisticated manner while still being understood. The language has numerous words that have only slight differences in meaning, which enriches your expressions.

A number of authors have contributed to this language's richness, most notably Shakespeare, who played a significant role in the development of Early Modern English. Additionally, there are countless classic love songs written in English. Personally, I view it as a language of love and romance.

It has also developed over a long history, reflecting a rich heritage that should be cherished and preserved for future generations. Furthermore, the culinary heritage that has developed alongside the language adds another layer of richness. When you look at historic architecture throughout England, you can't help but appreciate the perseverance and artistic sensibility of the English people. They are a people who speak an amazing language. It is my native language, and I can say nothing but that I love it!

Russian differs significantly from its Western European counterparts in terms of its study. The language is flexible and boasts clear pronunciation. Its rich vocabulary leaves a lasting impression, and Russian poetry is immensely captivating.

The way it is perceived varies greatly from, for example, Shakespearean poetry in English or French poetry. The energy and liveliness of the language are unique. Although it's hard to learn, mastering Russian opens up wonderful prospects.

Reading Russian authors in their original language is far more enjoyable than reading translations, as many nuances of the language are simply untranslatable.

Polish is a very beautiful, rhythmic language. Poetry and prose written in the language that Chopin spoke captivate the reader with their abundance of linguistic possibilities in conveying thoughts. This is why so many Polish authors and poets have won the Nobel Prize for Literature over the years.

Spoken Polish is extremely elegant and light to the ear. The vocabulary is phenomenal, and the selection of descriptive words is overwhelming.

Kudos to the Poles for their amazing achievement of incorporating borrowed words into Polish from English and, historically in the past, from French, German, and Italian, all while keeping their own language free of foreign words that already have Polish equivalents. This is a sign of a healthy, living language, one that protects its historical roots and will continue to flourish and grow for years to come.

Since Poland is a rising star among the world economies and a fast-approaching European powerhouse, it would be advisable to learn the Polish language and get a head start on the competition.

I think Farsi is the most beautiful language I've ever heard. It's like a spoken song. My taste is for soft, flowy language.

I would consider Farsi, French, Portuguese, and Gaelic as such. Like the cursive of spoken languages, these are the ones I find most beautiful, as well as Italian. Though I would categorize Italian as bouncy and fun rather than romantic and beautiful.

I'm sure I'm leaving out so many languages that I've never heard. I wish I could hear them all. They're all beautiful in their own way.

Persian is another way to say this. Keep in mind, Farsi was a language created in ancient times when the Persian Empire invaded almost half of the world. Every sentence has a poetic structure and can sometimes sound like a song or rhythm. It's a beautiful language known in some Asian countries.

Think about it - it's not at all like the harsh language of Arabic. It's soft like chocolate. Learning or listening to Iranian must be a pleasure.

Ukrainian possesses a magical melodiousness. It is a language with soul and is full of tenderness. It has the power to attract and hypnotize. No other language can capture the depth and variety of feelings that are audible in the Ukrainian phrase "my heart."

Unfortunately, neither French with "mon coeur," nor Spanish with "mi corazon," nor English with "my heart" can compare to the Ukrainian equivalent.

Ukrainian is so underrated. I am studying French, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, and Ukrainian, and I find Ukrainian songs to be the most melodious. Music plays a big role, and they are perfect. While my other languages of study are lovely too, there is something special about Ukrainian that I haven't found in Russian, which is why I chose to study it.

I speak Hindi, Marathi, English, Urdu, and a little bit of French and Italian. I can also sign in ASL and read Braille. However, out of all of them, Korean is the language I'm obsessed with. I've been learning it for almost three years, and it's amazing. I can write in Korean too.

It's so beautiful how the letters symbolize the shape of the tongue. I wish I knew a native Korean speaker so I could practice my skills with them. Nevertheless, Korean is my all-time favorite language, and K-pop is wonderful too.

I'm surprised that this language is not ranked much higher. Maybe in a true poll, the results would be different? I won't delve into the influence of the pop culture this nation has produced - you can just turn on the TV for that. South Korea is polarizing, controversial, and sometimes downright ridiculous.

I didn't realize the country's full potential until I decided to stay there for a few months, working different jobs. I highly recommend choosing South Korea as your top priority if you ever plan an Asian trip.

Being born and raised in Los Angeles, I thought we had it all. My perspectives toward Asia changed 180 degrees once I visited South Korea (and Japan as well). No longer can the USA or any other country create false stereotypes out of insecurity. South Korea is a very strong country, and its entire population is ingrained with grit, hard work, and progression.

I'm going on a tangent here, but the language plays a role. South Korea has built its sensible traits - fashion, beauty, style, culture - under the radar over the decades. I also believe that their standing in pop culture is influenced by the sound of their language. It is a fortunate country with a near-perfect combination of everything, and it's no wonder they are leading Asia and changing global perspectives toward Asian people.

It is such a beautiful language, but it is so rarely heard. It's almost hidden and unknown. It's one of those languages where, if you hear it spoken in public by another person, you get excited and almost want to go talk to them.

I speak Spanish, Romanian, German, Indonesian, and Japanese, and I haven't had that feeling with any one of them before. It definitely deserves a higher spot.

Why isn't Romanian ranked higher? This is by far one of the most beautiful languages in the world. It sounds like a perfect combination of different languages, creating one unique masterpiece.

The sound of the language is just gorgeous and pleasant. I could listen to it all day and not get tired of hearing it. I love it!

I am a native Farsi/Persian speaker. I grew up in Australia and am fluent in English. I lived in Turkey for one year and used to be fluent in Turkish but have forgotten a bit over the years. However, I hope to be on top of it again soon. I am currently learning French.

I do agree that Farsi is probably the most beautiful language. Whenever I speak Farsi, people who don't know the language often compliment its softness and beauty. It doesn't have too many repetitive sounds or words, unlike Italian, Spanish, Arabic, or Chinese.

Its written alphabet is similar to Arabic, but it sounds very different, of course. I would definitely rate Farsi number one, French second, and Turkish third.

My native language is German, which is for very intelligent people. It's on par with Ukrainian in terms of vocabulary richness and grammatical complexity. One almost unique feature of German is that you can string many words together to create a new expression.

It's very harmonic - soft for soft expressions and hard for the hard ones. It perfectly captures the German mood: work, work, work, and then beer or wine. Discipline is key. If you're going to be loved, the language feels smooth. If you're going to be insulted, it sounds scary. Alongside Ukrainian, it's the best language to express your feelings perfectly.

Tamil is one of the oldest surviving languages, still spoken by millions. The Tamil people are an ancient ethnic group from South Asia. Tamil is considered the world's oldest language, as it is over 5,000 years old, having made its first appearance around 300 BC.

Tamil is the only Indian language, apart from Sanskrit, that has evolved independently. While every language has some Sanskrit influence, Tamil does not. In the early 21st century, more than 66 million people were Tamil speakers. UNESCO has declared Tamil a classical language.

Apart from being the name of the language, Tamil also means things like beauty, sweet, and natural. Finally, I am proud to be Tamil.
