I like hebrew, although I've only ever managed to learn the alphabet and a few basic prayers. I like sanskrit too. And latin.
Maybe I just like languages I've used for prayers.

German is one of my least favourite languages. And I find arabic difficult to listen to. Both have an aggressive sound to me.

French sounds quite beautiful, as does spanish.

I can read some Hebrew prayers, but only in transliteration. The thing that confuses me is the pages turning the other way, I just get so muddled especially when everyone else knows what they are doing. I used to be able to say the 'Hail Mary' in Latin when I was at school but I can't remember it all now.

I know what you mean about Arabic, it can be a bit shouty. I like listening to nasheeds, which is the Qur'an being sung and that can sound quite beautiful.

I love the sound of Semitic languages in general, particularly Akkadian.

Apart from my own native (Czech) language, it´s gotta be English or Japanese. French, Italian or Chinese also do not sound bad.

English. I like to listen to all kinds of different regional accents in the US and UK.
I live in northeast Ohio and I don't think people here have any distinctive accent. It's weird.

My favorite language is Italian. I love the food and I just love Italy. I have never been there before.
