what's the ugliest sounding language?

in my opinion it's korean, it's so grating to hear people speak it, it sounds like the language of a hun raiding party, very upsetting to hear it spoken

>>212602863 (OP)
It's either that or chinese. They're both languages with an ugly spirit to them

>>212602904
some chinese dialects are pleasant... most of them are awful. hearing chinese tourists speak is very upsetting.

there are no ugly sounding languages

>>212602863 (OP)
All of Siberia is Russian, don't get delusions that any of those languages are spoken nowadays.

I doubt their language has anything to do with "mongols". It seems more like a chinese slave language more than anything..

>japanese
ridiculous slander
thai is nice too

>>212602863 (OP)
I'm surprised, because Korean sounds a lot like Japanese. Do you also hate your own language? Maybe it sounds off to you because it sounds so close to Japanese yet still pretty distinct for you.

Chinese and mainlander SEA languages.

>>212602863 (OP)
Did they give up showing the other minority languages in SEA?

>>212602984
Shanghainese and other Wu dialects are pleasant. Name the others you are thinking of

arabic and hebrew probably sound like cavemen speaking to non speakers

>>212603058
>numbers

>>212602863 (OP)
Danish. Ugly glottal nonsense

>>212603490
arabic is beautiful

Some Vietnamese is kinda grating, but I'm a nice guy, so maybe I got unlucky with the accent or something.

>>212602863 (OP)
Vietnamese, it sounds like those racist Chinese imitations, but real

Hi gaijin-san

Used to live with some Cantonese guys. Couldn't tell if they were joking around or about to kill each other a lot of the time. It might not even sound bad for all I know, but it's not the most relaxed-sounding dialect, so I went into fight-or-flight and couldn't judge.

>>212602863 (OP)
Dutch. The phlegmy noises are disgusting. It's just evil English.

>>212603058
No fucking way they got the village downy to record all these words on a flip phone lmaooo

>>212603548
I like Danish. It doesn't have any terrible sounds, even if they're not great at enunciation.

>>212602863 (OP)
Arabic, some Chinese is terrible but it depends on the speaker, some of them speak very nicely some speak like they are about to vomit. But Arabic always sounds terrible.

cleft lip sounding ass

>>212604091
It's putting your rural uncle on the language council. No one can say it sounds pretentious at least.

>>212603463
>Did they give up showing the other minority languages in SEA?
Yeah lmao

>>212603058
no FUCKING way that isnt a joke

>>212604163
even this map is very incomplete

>>212603987
i like the way arabic sounds

>>212602863 (OP)
Their script looks better than chinese & japanese though

>>212602863 (OP)
I don't like Korean too. But I don't know how sound many other languages on this map.

>>212603058
kek
It looks like someone decided to troll and it's not real.

>Orang Seletar
I live in Seletar, I feel good that they’re kicked out of the country to sleep in boats while I sleep in a house.

>>212604496

>>212604388
fair enough. it also makes a lot more sense.

cantonese hurts my ears, hk people speaking it makes them look angry 24/7

>>212602863 (OP)
Irish, but only when spoken in a thick English-language accent rather than proper Irish pronunciation.

>>212602904
Which one? "Chinese" is like a dozen different languages.

>>212603058
I feel like a lot of the issue is just this individual person having an annoying voice.

>>212603987
Which Arabic? Arabic is also several languages. Like, Moroccan and Saudi colloquial speech are about as different as French and Spanish last I checked.

>>212604587
slander

>>212603678
i'm a northerner and i find the central and southern dialects are annoying to listen to. I cant even tell which person is talking in a group, they all sound the same

>>212602863 (OP)
thai, laos, khmer and everything in that group

>>212602863 (OP)
Definitely Hebrew.

>>212603758
Flemish people (ironically) don't have those phlemy sounds when we speak. It's a Northern Dutch thing.

Arabic by far

>>212605567
stop slandering arabic

>>212605269
I hate your tonal language too
indochinese language are all dogshit.

>>212605952
i wish we kept using the Chinese script so the language would be even more fucked up to learn and upset people

>>212602863 (OP)
None i like all languages and listening to someone speak in an accent or dialect or language i've never heard before is always an enjoyable experience for me

>>212603058
I take back what I said about mandarin.

it could have been worse

>>212605269
Khmer and Thai are unrelated and sound almost nothing alike, although they have a lot of shared loanwords from Pāli and Sanskrit. Khmer isn’t tonal, among other things. It’s actually a distant cousin of Vietnamese, although it sounds even less like Viet.

Thai and Lao are practically the same language, though—at least as close as Spanish and Portuguese, and a lot of dialects inside Thailand are more like Champasak than Bangkok. I like Lao a lot; it’s softer than Thai.

I don’t dislike any language, but Dutch vowels are ugly. And some dialects of Swiss German are never going to win any beauty contests. A former colleague of mine, a Frenchwoman who grew up in Basel and speaks Baseldeutsch like a native, learned Dutch, and her daughter declared that thanks to Dutch and Swiss German she officially spoke “the two worst languages.” I actually think the Basel dialect is one of the nicest Swiss dialects, but most people who aren’t from here hate it.

>>212602863 (OP)
Chinese which is weird considering how they have one of the best sounding languages right next to them, like you'd think they pick something up but no

>>212606026
Trouble is that Chu Nom was never even really standardized.

>>212602904
You're a fucking retard. Let the chinks let us know about the nuances and intricacies of their dialects instead of assuming they all have "an ugly godless spirit" to them. You stupid Iowa protestant inbred fuck. You're why Europeans still mock us.

>>212602863 (OP)
Chinese, thai, vietnamese, indian, indog
So many to choose from. Korean is honestly not that bad. Out of all eastern asian languages it's probably number 2 or 3 behind japanese

>>212603058
god imagine this being your mother tongue

>>212604163
notice how in regions with a bajillion tiny mutually unintelligible "languages", they're all ugly, pointless babble nobody would notice if they vanished?

>>212602863 (OP)
Any east asian (besides Mongolian) and especially south-east asian language. Thai and vietnamese in particular are disgusting.
French, Dutch and Danish are also pretty repulsive.

>>212603058
Jesus fucking christ
