Faroe islands. Doesn't sound very appealing. It doesn't sound like much of a travel destination. Faroe islands-far away, where they belong.
Which language sounds the worst??
Amen to that brother...oh I hate those islands so much...do they have a flag we can burn?
Let's make an eefigie of that person from Faroe islands and burn it up.
Death to Faroe islands!
Death to Faroe islands!
I think italian sounds the worst. It is like a butchered french with spanish idioms. I like italian people though, friendly and talkative, but their language is a bad representation of old latin, which was superior to many languages of its time. I think banning italian would be a gesture of friendship to the italian people, for what they will thank us in the years to come.

This thread is about what language people think sounds the worst. Boris was giving his opinion.

In my opinion, German is the worst-sounding language. It sounds like a Nazi barking orders at you just when they say something like "I love you."
French is the next worst. I'm saying that not just because I'm British but also because French sounds just like a nasal, Germanicised version of Latin or Italian with virtually every letter of words that end in comments mysteriously not pronounced.
The only foreigners who learn French are either wine-loving snobs or British Europhile Members of the European Parliament who use it to try to impress people.

" that end in comments mysteriously not pronounced. "
That should say "consonants" not "comments".

I am not particularly fond of wine, and definitely not British. Pray tell, Adam, what would that make me? See, I am confused as to my identity after reading your educated comment and I need your wise advice.
(/sarcasm - just in case...)

Hmm. Kind of like the non-rhotic modern British English, you mean? Of course in that case, you also get the invasive R thingie. I suppose that compensates.

CALLIOPE:
It´s intrusive R. But "invasive" sounds even better! LOL! ;-)
Well, that might be some sort of compensation. Besides, it makes pronunciation easier.
<<French is the next worst. I'm saying that not just because I'm British but also because French sounds just like a nasal, Germanicised version of Latin or Italian with virtually every letter of words that end in comments mysteriously not pronounced.>>
What do you mean by "comments" here?
Does French sound liked that? So does English. Without the "nasalised" bit, of course. Well then? Is that a problem? I don´t think so.
<<The only foreigners who learn French are either wine-loving snobs or British Europhile Members of the European Parliament who use it to try to impress people.>>
I beg your pardon?? As far as I remember, you have learn´t French and are able to speak it after a fashion... Tell me if I´m wrong.

Oh, Adam...I´ve just seen your correction...Then you don´t have to answer one of my questions. You are lucky, dear, very lucky... :-)
Just one more question, Adam. I know you are from Bolton, Lancashire. BUT: Are you rhotic? Just because you seem to have a peculiar aversion towards silent consonants. Or am I on the wrong track?
@Liz: Intrusive it is. Heheh I was climbing up the walls trying to remember how the heck it is called, and eventually I thought I'd write it anyway and *someone* would get what I meant. :)
Ok lets get this straight, Italian is a beautiful language, some of the best music can only be enjoyed in Italian :-) like Tiziano Ferro. Of course if you dont speak it you're gonna make stupid generalizations cause you're jealous. French is also a pretty language, I dont speak it fluently but French, Spanish, Italian are the most beautiful languages to me besides my native one of course :). and wats with hating the Faroe Islands? lol
