- I think Italian is the sexiest language. Neither French nor Israeli top my list. There is no ugliest language. Instead, we could say there are difficult languages to learn. Let's take Chinese, for instance ; pronunciation is tightly associated with the writing of characters, so an intensive practice in writing is required if you want to succeed. I wouldn't say it is unfair to call a language ugly. That would mean a lack of reasoning; a language is linked to the history of a region, the struggle of its people to survive, the use of land, the surrounding landscape and many other features of their culture. For me, languages are like the pearls of a necklace, shiny, lovely, Regards, Isabel

- Hello Tomedes! Whether a language is sexy, lovely, musical, etc. or "ugly," unacceptable, and other none-too-flattering evaluations...is all subjective. One thing stands out however: one's native tongue is the most attractive. To wit: The Belarusian poet Ryhor Krushyna (1907-1979) had this poem to clarify it all: IN HARMONY Tr. from Belarusian by Ihar Kazak © 2017 I'm in Munich and I’m in New York But the chime of my verse Places a simple language and talk Under a lovely, natural rule to converse. Like the song’s melody of Milan, It captures and enthralls me. Even when one hears “Oh, Rama-Rama” It touches upon Italian harmony. Italian! Spanish! French! I call these my own—and I thrive! I shall not withdraw making my feelings quench Tuning in to Warsaw or Moscow to strive. Oh West! I don’t shun you nor abstain Your dynamic culture and might I’ve not discarded in arrogance and disdain. Here I sense the spirit of Skaryna’s height. I’m in Munich and I’m in New York, But my language shall always remain… Both in the East and in the West The Belarusian speech I retain. From Darohi [Roads]. NY-Munich: 1974. Ihar Kazak has translated some 100 poems of Ryhor Krushyna, and the collection is to be published this year as Love for the Homeland.

- This is silly because all languages are not being graded equally. As in, the world has not been given a chance to hear everyone's accent. The survey is based on a handful of famous people that have been able to market their accents who happen to be beautiful. Therefore, the survey is biased and inaccurate.

- I feel the opposite of most people. I think German is the most beautiful language, and my second favourite is Russian. I don't like Spanish or French.
