intonation

Which intonation is more difficult to imitate and reproduce?

Every language has its own peculiar intonation but some languages seem harder to imitate than others.

I'd say British English

Italian intonation is strange and difficult.

Cantonese Chinese has very complicated intonation. They have 7 tones, I believe; which is bad enough, but they are constantly modified by the neighboring tones. AHHHH!

In Europe I'd say Swedish and Italian

French & Spanish

Spanish intonation is quite easy compared to the italian one. Italians sing and tell funny stories all the time1

Chinese intonation is quite hard and all languages with tones

Italians sing and tell funny stories all the time1


Where do you come from? From idiotland?

Languague intonation is a very interesting topic. People generally talk only about grammar and phonetics. Each language has got its own intonation but some intonation sound more peculiar and difficult than others

What an interesting and informative thread. Does anyone mind if I delete this?

no

Why do you want to delete this. All those threads about the Spanish language are much more endless and inconsistent

This thread isn't about Spanish. Obviously you can delete it .

They started again because people are mostly interested in Spanish, not French or other languages.
