Top 10 Best Sounding Germanic Languages
Norwegian definitely is the best sounding germanic language. It's a little like a less serious swedish, but that also makes it more pleasant to the ears, almost as if the norwegians are more fun people. Really like its sound.
Norwegian accent is one of the most beautiful accents to hear. It's as pleasant to hear as British and Australian.
Norwegian should be number 1. It's way better than Swedish.
Seriously, Norwegian sounds better than German!
I am a swede myself so I will look at this language as objectively as possible. From what I'm pretty sure, I feel as if swedish is the clearest scandinavian language, in that it's easy to comprehend with the neutral sounds and phonetics. It also does though sound a little bland, if I do say so myself.
I'm learning Swedish right now and I love it. The language is so clearly structured, yet it flows beautifully when spoken.
Swedish is the most beautiful language I've ever heard, French and Danish are close honorable mentions!
When being spoken it sounds very song-like, very melodic, with high tones and low tones. Beautiful.
German is the most beautiful sounding language I have ever learned. ( I can speak German, Italian, Spanish, English, Turkish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Korean, Greek and Danish fluently ), yes not too much it is enough for me.
Not a particularly big fan of german personally. I've always found it too harsh and annoying to listen to, no offense to germans. Although it does sound a little epic too I guess...
Best singers are from Germany like Thomas Anders. Very beautiful language and sounds like a more advanced version of English (no offense to Englishmen)
I like it for it's formality. I picture an accomplished scientist or author when I hear it.
English sounds nothing like German, thank goodness. There's no such thing as Australian, American and British English - they're ALL English but Australian, American and English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish ->i.e. British, all have different accents.
There are loads of dialects but the standard brittish english variant is amazing. It sounds incredibly sophisticated and pleasant, and I'm a fan of the wide vocabulary. Pretty awesome!
There's Australian, American and British English. For some reason I speak a bit of all.
Favourite odor is nonsense.
Whats with the us flag English comes from england!
Super underrated. The most archaic language of the north germanic languages, sounding almost exactly like the language of the vikings. It also sounds really interesting and cool!
Pleasurable to listen to
The language sounds way different than the other Germanic languages, it's just so unique, nice, warm and "gezellig". They say Dutch has the richest vocabulary in the world. I use it as a argument against people who say my language is ugly both spoken and written. If you don't like how the sentence sounds, just use another word with the same meaning which does sound nice. The sentence can also look more appealing to the eye after you replaced a word. Sorry if my post is a bit messy, I'm not always good at explaining my opinion.

From my perspective, I've always felt as if Dutch is a lesser harsh and more generic version of German (no offense Userguy44). I do like it more than german though.
This language some people think this language sound beautiful but not as beautiful,but it sounds cool
Aah, our brothers of the south, having a bit of an obsession with potatoes in the throat lol. Jokes aside, I don't particularly like the danish language. It's cool if I do say so myself but like Geography Now put it, it's like the last few syllables of any word is kinda removed in speech, in "laziness".
Danish sounds very nice, but it's very hard to pronounce.
Danish and German
Afrikaans sounds pretty cool. Although it is the least mutually intelligeble language speaking from a swedish perspective, I quite like the sound of it. It's like dutch, but at the same time you have this african influence, giving the language a sort of obscure and interesting touch. Quite cool!
Beautiful language which unfortunately reminds some people of the apartheid, we should stop thinking like that, languages are neutral tools.
Unique Germanic language, about 60-70% from Dutch origen and the rest French, German, Malay and of course a touch of local Africa
The way they pronounce vowel letters like diphthongs is very interesting
This is the closest language to English
It has a very efficient alphabet
Not Scottish Gaelic (and maybe a dialect of English)
