Gaelic

@PoliceBox63 is going to kill me for calling it that, but Wikipedia says I'm right!
Which one do you mean?

Irish, Scottish or possibly Welsh?

You see they're all Gaelic languages which is why I and probably PoliceBox find it a bit strange that people call them all Gaelic.

And when I say people I mean people who aren't from those countries.
All three of them actually. That's why I used this term instead of the specific language's name.

Or Umlauts for that matter.
Oh yes it does, they just don't work in the preview for some obscure reason.

Latin, because everything sounds so dramatic
Yes, Memento Mori (kudos to you if you know what game carries this tagline) OT: Latin, Russian, and German. Russian just sounds so awesome and German makes me a nazi troll.

Russian, and Lebanese Arabic (As it is actually a dialect which changes from country to country.) But it does kinda suck when you are in the Middle East at a family reunion and you hear your name and every one laughs, or looks at you.

German or Russian. I like the deep voices, and German sounds especially ominous like they're constantly pissed off.

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...
Actually, all you really need is an accent. My mother, who has an English accent, can't pronounce anything to save her life despite having done full Welsh language courses, while my dad, who has a Welsh accent, can pronounce most words perfectly despite never having learnt it.

Also, I really like the sound of Russian.

I'm gonna have to agree with Zulu.

Not the Irish accent, I mean the real Irish language.
My grandfather taught it to me and I always have found it the most enchanting, beautiful language in the whole world.

Why, Finnish of course. No other language has as awesome curse words as Finnish. Unfortunately I was unable to find a really good video giving an example of this.
Pfft, nothing compared to Norwegian! Proof:
Haha, this is awesome. In addition I'd like to add Swedish to the growing list of cool-sounding languages since I am, of course, Swedish.

Bhí mé líofa cúpla bliain o shin, ach tá mo gaeilge go hufásach anois.

I still know enough to impress people who don't know it at all though.

OT: Probably spanish or something. Mmm...

Wow, your dialect is weird.

I learned this as:
Cén chaoi a bhuil tú?

What area are you from?

Edit: just looked it up, apparently, your Irish is standardised Irish :p
My grandfather was from a little town near Conaught, and apparently, that Irish is slightly different.

It also helps that "Conas atá tú?" is "How are you?" and not "Where are you from?" :p

That Zulu thing had bits and pieces of German in it. like "Volgende"
Dutch actually. Which isn't surprising since Afrikaans (south african) is basically Dutch with an accent.

Most foreign languages I've heard sound pretty cool, except for German, I have never really cared for it. Not so crazy about French either, even though its the only other language I can speak besides English.
