Welsh is one of the most wonderful and expressive languages ever created, every sentence sounds like a poem or a song. I love watching the eisteddfods on S4C, even though I actually understand very little Welsh, just to listen to the sheer beauty of it being spoken or sang (despite the fact a lot of the acts are really quite shockingly awful).

English spoken with received pronunciation is very nice too (which is how I speak it, hoorah!), and is very good for wooing foreign girls. If spoken with certain accents though: Estuary, Cockney and Northern (inc. Midlands) for example, it sounds absolutely horrific, same goes for if the regional accents of the West Country, Scotland and Wales aren't spoken well.

Despite their bad reviews here, I actually quite like German and Dutch and the like as well. They're much nicer than the nasal, slurred languages of around the Mediterranean.

German gets a minus from me as well, I do not like the grammar, the phonetics, the words. Pugh !

I enjoy listening Russian, Latin, Japanese, and - sometimes - Arab (I'd say that arab talked by a woman sounds much better than talked by a man, a few cases excepted. But then, most arab I hear is from TV shows about terrorism).
I've never heard an Indian speaking, but from the few indian songs I've heard, it sounds pretty nice too.

I had a conversation with a Modern Languages professor the other day. He and I argued about whether "Sel-tik" was a proper pronunciation of the word 'Celtic'. I, of course, hate that mispronunciation.

English is regularly butchered by just about everyone in my continent. The only time I hear it spoken properly is by the few Englishmen I ever see on TV. I know the language...might as well speak it right.

Gaelic and German are nice to hear. I know what you mean about Arabic, LeftEyeNine, in singing cases. There's are a really great sample of it on the first Nile album...the song because a vicious wail. It's supposed to be a Djinni, you see; I really love that part of the song.
