What languages (that you may or may not know yourself) do you think just sound cool?

Nevermind what they're actually saying, it's the sound of the words and the alphabet that just sound cool. Find a video of it, or, if you speak it, post one yourself

Mine? Zulu and Xhosa, because of their Click Constanants (listen to the video)

Realizing the error of this response, I can't help but say Japanese. It sounds so magical and lyrical. Most people on here should know what it sounds like, so I'll skip the video requirement.

I thought so too until I realised it is a language for girls and men who are even more girly!
Far far too many vowels.

Currently learning Chinese at university because I think it sounds fucking awesome.

I also love Korean.

I'll second this :)

Also Spanish. Really, any accent of it sounds awesome. Italian's cool too, as is Latin if you pronounce it properly.

@PoliceBox63 is going to kill me for calling it that, but Wikipedia says I'm right!

That's actually pretty cool, my brother learned Chinese at school for one term (some random course they did), and liked it too, though it wasn't a full course. Just the basics.

Anyway, I learned German and French at school for GCSE and just about passed them both, but don't ask me to say anything in either language because I was still crap at them. I do love Japanese though, that's something I'd be interested in learning.

Also, since I have a weird love of anything to do with Ireland, I'd love to learn the Irish language. And maybe Welsh, although as I understand it you need to have both a lisp and a permanent mouthful of phlegm to be able to pronounce anything in Welsh...

Elvish! (You never said it had to be a real language!) I find it very seductive. I had very complicated feelings when Orlando Bloom spoke it in LOTR.
