Some languages and accents can be sexy, and somewhat erotic.
Some sound like a dog reacting to a nonfatal gunshot wound.
As I listen to a Haitian couple arguing outside, it hit me again: Creole is a damn annoying sounding language. Why is it Asians get all the poking fun of? Creole is like hearing nails getting dragged down a blackboard.
What languages do you not like the sound of?
Haitian Creole is basically French reduced to guttural grunts and egregious mispronunciations. Having said that, I will now go and hide, change my name and leave this country forever.
i used to think i hated hungarian. then i realized it was only we were taught to hate anything and everything hungarian at school. i actually like it. german similarly so. especially austrian german, which is softer than german german (i know there are many many dialects and accents there, too).
i actually don't like french that much, although i speak it. but hate? i got nada. i like them all. brazilian portuguese is the best though. and welsh. and malayalam.
Welsh, now. I think you have to have a chicken bone stuck in your throat in order to pronounce it correctly. And those double LLs will drive you nuts.
Oh, now. Jamaican has a lovely lilt to it for my ears.
welsh is melodic. i like all melodic languages. also kinyarwandan is beautiful.
is that the one with the clucking sound? i love that one, too.
I don't know what you would call it but English as it's spoken by those from Barbados is magical. I think it's the nicest accent in the pantheon of English accents.
No people, this is languages that suck.
For those from MA....East Boston and Revere accents. Nothing says "I didn't make it past 4th grade" like a heavy accent from one of these lovely areas.
but i like those accents, too.... sorry.
Yah, whuddevah'. Yah think they're wicked pissah?
I love the rural Texas sound of a mating call, such as, "Ye wanta waller?"
Southern accents on women can be hot.
Except this one girl I met. She had a ridiculously strong accent coupled with an annoyingly high pitched voice.
I asked her if she realized she was talking like that out in public.
did u have to kiss her grits?
No grit kissing. If I remember correctly, after I insulted her I jokingly asked her if she would have sex with me in the bathroom. She hit on me after that. Gal must have had one hell of a self-esteem.
